We were told to homeschool before my son started kindergarten. The elementary school principal was a relative of mine and had seen my son reading and spelling very well when he was preschool age. My son had started reading and spelling at 2. The principal didn't know, because my husband and I didn't even know at that time, that my son was twice exceptional. He has motor dyspraxia which makes handwriting and drawing and coloring in the lines difficult. We had no choice but to homeschool. I live in Oklahoma and when I talked to our state gifted coordinator, she said there is no requirement in our state for an appropriate education for twice exceptional children. She said I needed to continue homeschooling and that "my son is worth it." I already knew that.
I try to follow my 9 1/2 year old son's lead in his education as much as possible. Right now, we are concentrating on preparing for a state spelling bee, and he is also working on vocabulary, and classic literature.
