[quote=Anonymous]OP, I suggest that you join some of the Facebook homeschooling groups - there are ones specific to Northern Virginia, secular homeschooling, gifted students, etc. DCUM tends to be very anti-homeschooling, and you will get much more helpful input there. I have one kid in Catholic school and one who is now a true homeschooled kid. Both are teens now but were in FCPS AAP when they were younger. My true homeschooled kid is highly gifted but did not thrive in either crowded public school classes or with the structured Catholic school curriculum. Homeschooling has been wonderful for her. She is taking foreign languages, calculus, and sciences online, and for other subjects she is essentially reading on her own. She is far more relaxed and engaged than she has been in a long time. Socialization is a bit of a concern because she recently "retired" from her long time sport (figure skating) but we are working on it.[/quote]
