[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he's a self-starter and loves learning so I'd be less worried about finding someplace that will challenge him than finding someplace that will not get in his way. I had a series of public schools that didn't get in my way and what I got out of it was self-reliance and intrinsic motivation. Basically, I'm never bored and I'm always learning -- still! Our local public *did* look like it would get in the way (no sit in the corner and read option), so we sent our kid to GDS. DC is in middle school at this point and has had a really great education -- in part because of the kind of student she is. I think GDS is an excellent place for kids who are intellectually playful and who like hard fun. Maybe not so great for kids who are smart but just tend to do the needful. Or who are motivated more by competition or recognition rather than the desire to learn or figure things out. [/quote]
