[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  I know several homeschooling families through DS's activity, chess, and the parents are lovely and the kids very nice, accomplished and talented.  Many are also very accomplished musicians.   These kids are music and/or chess prodigies and homeschooling works for them.[/quote]

Also, several of these kids skipped high school entirely and are in college, Ivy or similar.[/quote]

Being a 13-year-old enrolled in college usually isn't a good thing IMO.[/quote]

14 usually and they were taking courses at some  local college while being homeschooled.  Also, they are used to traveling and dealing with older kids and adults since they were little kids through chess.  [/quote]

They [b]usually major in something math related since they are [u]chess=math=music prodigies.  [/u][b]
[/b][u]
The other alternative is to send them to a magnet like TJ for high school but then that does not leave much time for music and/or chess so some parents either keep homeschooling or send them to a regular HS with less homework.[/quote]

Doubt "they" are prodigies.  Prodigies are rare.  I know lots of homeschooled kids, including some family members.  I don't know any who is a prodigy.  Either you're liberally defining prodigy or mistaken.[/quote]
