Is it even possible to find a good fit in a school?
Dh is in the midst of a job search, he is in talks with companies in several different states....we are not to the point in really researching schools yet, but where we are now the schools were definitly not an option....to the point that at 2.5 her pediatrician simpley flat out said "our schools won't work for her. You will have to homeschool."
DD is 3.3, is reading on a 2nd grade 6 month level...self taught, doing 1st/2nd grade math and is working her way through a 2nd grade science text on her own....I can't get her away from the thing LOL.
I guess my question is, well if a child is this far ahead...she can't even start K for 2 more full years....is normal schooling even an option? Where my mom lives and where I grew up, they have very god academic magnet schools with self contained gifted programs in the magnets. This worked very well for me when I was placed there in 1st grade. I remember being miserable and crying from boredom in neighborhood K...but DD is so far ahead then I ever was.
I guess I am just wondering, when a child has been identified as PG, well is homeschooling the only option in most places? I guess I am just wondering if in most places would we even be able to find a fit in the school system or should we just assume we will be homeschooling and not worry about the school system when making a decision on his next position?
