[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Home school the child, please.   This whole thread is assholery even by dcum standards.[/quote]

This is currently the dumbest post on DCUM.[/quote]

Not at all.   Prodigies rarely amount to anything.  If the op had judgement, they would try to normalize the child’s social development.   This is in fact assholery.[/quote]

What OP is describing is hardly prodigy material.  In fact, apart from memorizing the capitals, which I can't see why aren't parent would find much value in that, I know of several kindergarteners in public who are reading at least a grade ahead and who are advanced in math as well.  [b]This probably describes 3/4 of the K class in my DD's public school[/b].  Besides, what makes you think homeschooling would be good for gifted child?  What about social skills?  Are you capable of teaching a gifted child at home?

Home schooling is just bad advice, plain and simple.  And I think OP will be surprised to learn just how many kids are very much like hers once she gets to elementary.   [/quote]

Really? 3/4 of the K class in your DD's public school can serve as Banker in Monopoly game, give change and read out Chance and Community Chest cards, tell me it is -2C outside when the temperature reading in my car said 28F, can write short stories and spell words such as "brown", "competition" and "throat"?  Which public school is this, please share.[/quote]
