I have thought about it, simply because Anelise is top of her class and pushing for more. We are friends with her teacher and even she admits it's hard to keep her challenged when she has to keep the subjects to whatthe class of 30 kids as a whole can do/understand.
Because of this, Anelise gets a lot more personal reading time in class which I am okay with since it's better than her twiddling her thumbs being bored.
Homeschooling in CA has many, many hoops you have to jump through that's it's almost not worth it.

OH I know. It's all about butts in the seats with them. It's also why the wife and I both challenge her at home with extra stuff. I mean, this is a 7 year old who got a dictionary and a microscope for christmas, and was ecstatic about it.

-MrBean-, the only legal requirement for homeschooling in the state of California is to notify the schools. Homeschools are considered, by state law, to be private schools.

Fill out your form each year and you're good to go. Public schools will and do request/demand more than they are legally allowed to. In some states they will send out letters demanding to see your curriculum before you can be "approved" to homeschool, when no such legal authority in that state exists.

When I was a kid growing up there were all sorts of additional programs through the district for 'Highly Capable' students that gave them extra challenges and stuff. I think it was one or two days a week that we were bussed to a so-called 'magnet' school and were given a bunch of additional tasks, like writing short stories or taking care of an egg baby or studying documentaries and the like. If the home schooling isn't doing it for you, you might try that.

If it's your childs education and it's what you want to do of course it's worth it. You can't put a price tag on that.

See, my two are also apparently ahead of the class (well no snit, they could read before they started JK, because I actually gave a crap about them) and both of their teachers have told me that they find other things to keep the girls interested and doing new things so they don't get bored stiff and act out.
The school is on the small side, and it would seem that the teachers are pretty good. Benefits of having them in a French first language school, I guess. Apparently they test well at this school, it keeps getting really high marks overall, assuming that's a good thing.

I love how nobody on ACF has a dumb kid. They are all geniuses that are like 8 grade levels above the other kids their age.
