These parents had no choice but to home school or privately tutor this child. First of all, public or private education with other children would have stunted and bored him. Our educational systems are not equipped to educate children like this. Even a gifted program would not have met this boy's need. The other side of that is that he would have been mercilessly bullied because of envy and jealousy..He would have been smarter than the teacher which, in many cases, even when the teacher tried hard, causes jealousy and resentment in the instructor. Some try to label such a child as mentally ill. No, you should never expose a child like this to a failed bureaucracy like the public school. In fact, this child's intelligence probably made him and his family a lightening rod for envy which isolates people. Perhaps that played a role in his suicide.
