Boarding schools for gifted girls - 03/03/15 12:57 AM
i never thought that would be considering this but I am now looking at sending my DD10 to a boarding school.
She is beginning to hang out with slackers and hide her intelligence to try to fit in and I am not sure that she will ever find a peer group in the community that we live in.
We could move, of course, but I am beginning to think that public education (tm) is soon going to be equally terrible everywhere - one way to close the Achievement Gap, I suppose.
This is not wriiten in stone but I think that I should consider this option and all other options short of homeschool ( not an option for economic reasons) for my daughter.
Any suggestions/leads appreciated...
