[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a kid who really was an outlier.  Calculus at 10 kinda kid.  We homeschooled for medical reasons (he was also an outlier there) and it was the right choice.

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.[/quote]

OP here.  May I ask what happened to your Calculus at 10 kid?  Mine is six and she is finishing up Fraction and started Algebra.  [/quote]

Mine was sent to our local high school age 11.  Actually all of mine but one out of six did that. The last one went to a small private. Which we then had to supplement big time. OP get a tutor outside of class, but definitely do not homeschool. There is no way homeschooling will have the knowledge your kid will need in all subjects.[/quote]

I can't say how frustrating it is to read your comments.  You do not understand what homeschooling is.  Homeschooling simply means that you have control to choose the curricula, level of instruction and method of instruction that best meets your child's needs.  It does not mean that a single person will teach everything to a child.  It does not mean that a child never leaves their home.  It does not mean that the child only interacts with their family.
