[quote=Anonymous]Do not judge too hastily.

The homeschooling families I know have given up on the school system for their "twice exceptional" children because of concerns over addressing mild to moderate learning disabilities along with giftedness. These children have great difficulties being understood by and fitting in at school. The homeschooling parents enrich the curriculum way, way beyond what is offered in public school (think college classes for elementary kids) and also accommodate it for the LDs. There are many incredibly resources for homeschooling here.

I come from a country where homeschooling is frowned upon, but having a twice exceptional child myself, I pondered whether to homeschool or not. In the end I decided not to (for now!): because I do not have the patience, because I think he needs socialization in a school setting, and because I can support his public school education adequately right now.

As for the thought that parents need to distance themselves from their kids - that is utterly ridiculous. It is only in very recent times, in "developed" countries, that the family unit has led such separate lives - which is only to be deplored, and is probably the cause of many social and psychological ills of our society.
