[quote=Anonymous]"I also have a kid who is more run of the mill gifted, ready for Algebra at 11 kinda kid. He has been well served by schools." I have a run of the mill gifted kid (140 IQ), and I would completely disagree that his intellectual development has been "well served" by public school. Yes, overall it was good for him to have the social experiences and exposure to school clubs, etc. But even AP classes provide a minimal amount of stimulation for him. Yes, they provide a way for him to develop organizational and study skills, which is important. But it wasn't until did a summer course offered by a college (similar to the Hopkins program) did he actually get pushed to think hard and deeply. So, we've done a lot at home over the years to fill in the gaps.[/quote]
