I think others were worried about the potential for judging others. So often parents of GT kids are thought to be hothousing, even when that's not what's happening.

I think no one meant offense, samson11. I'm sorry you feel jumped on. frown I think this may just be a nerve for the collective audience you're writing to. You know?

I definitely don't think you're the only person who is unsure about the differences and similarities between hothousing and child-led accelerated learning. It's a common topic for discussion here. I suspect the problem is in the specifics that you mentioned--this one woman's case--that bothered people.

But maybe I'm off-base...
