You don't have to be 'brighter' than your DD to homeschool her well - you just have to be willing not to say wrong things about infinity. When she gets up beyond what you can easily do, she'll be auditing classes at the local community college or university. Homeschooling doesn't mean that you have to teach a single class, just that you have to organize and drive and chaperone when needed.

Believe me, you might be just 'ordinary' but you are way less 'not gifted' than the teachers she is going to find in elementary school.
Plus you don't have any 'axe to grind' about kids who are 'too big for their breeches.'

Even if you ended up doing very little for about 30 minutes a day, your DD would likely learn more than she would even in 3rd grade, by having you undivided attention, permission to go at her own pace, and having free time for reading and persuing her own ideas.

Don't make me use that siren insert again! ((Humor Alert))
Love and More Love,
