[quote=Anonymous]Don’t know about outlier. DD entered kindergarten reading at a 6th grade level. (We chose a progressive private.) She is truly gifted in creative writing. She was not accelerated in math until 4th grade. But then skipped ahead about 4 levels and started doing contest math last year. We homeschooled her this past year because of the pandemic. It went really well. She’s a motivated student and worked 40+ hours a week. But we cannot really teach her without putting in a lot of effort because of how advanced she is, and few parents have that kind of time. This year we put her back in public school. It’s not great but we want her to be normal. It did not seem super healthy to get so focused on just academics. For math they have her in pre algebra and she has pretty much exhausted pre calculus at home. And that is her least naturally gifted area. Just to give you an idea how frustrating public school can be and it still be the better option. [/quote]
