Thanks ladies. I'm so interested in hearing how it works for different people. It really helps build my confidence that I can do this, and am actually capable!

You're so right Kcab. I'm thinking of starting the day with yoga on the beach and a spot of meditation. We have an appointment with the principal next week, and (armed with a report from a psych and the gifted educational specialist) are going to push for one term homeschooling, then return in term 2 with a grade skip and one half day per week homeschooling (although I may tell a white lie and say it's a psych appt. for resiliency, same end product, different title!), and a two year early entry into their gifted program, which accepts the top 10% of the year group. I figured we can only try...

I'm guessing schools aren't generally that accepting of parent recommendations from previous experience and stories from other moms! Any positive outcomes out there?!
