So far, two of our children are being home schooled. Our youngest in it was to start in Kindergarten this year. Had we stayed with the public school way of how his life should be he would be bored out of his mind as he sat through public school story time of "Heather has Two Mommies". He, instead, is already going into second grade, and our older son is much the same though in 4th this year.

Public school hates this and hates that they can not stop us and dumb down our children. We are their enemy and they have said as much.

Talk about blind and arrogant.

I'll stay with home school and all of its benefits, and if one person here can show me a real negative, I am still waiting to hear of one.

Perhaps early college for exceptional kids such as this young man is a good option.

I think that early college entry is done to gratify the parents egos. It can have no benefit for the young person.

What in the world is the problem with letting a child be a child. Why rush adulthood.

I watched my own parents struggle with this issue twice with my older sister. Both times they refused to push my sister ahead of her peers. They felt that children have a right to their childhood. I think that is the correct take on it.

Grrrrrreat ... the only thing is ... he'll look back on his college years ... and probably regret ... that he didn't get laid.
