[quote=Anonymous]Hi. Just chiming in to say that I homeschooled my kid in elementary and middle in the same situation. Gifted kid with ADHD and an LD and a lot of anxiety. In retrospect, kid was depressed. I get that it's not for everyone and that some parents simply cannot but it was wonderful for my child. I was able to challenge him, let him grow, support his weaknesses, and most importantly , let him be a happy kid again. There was no isolation issue for us: he did an outdoor program, a travel sport, and played with kids in the neighborhood every day. In high school, he was ready to go back. Went to a mainstream private and did really well . Just finished first year in top 20 college. I don't think we ever would have gotten here if we hadn't pulled him out of school. He was heading to a bad place and needed a radical change.[/quote]
