Sat next to the kid and his mom together in the campus cafeteria a couple of months ago. Knew nothing about them, but suspected that the kid was taking college studies. Very, very tall for his age, even nowadays, and didn't look as though he got any outdoor exercise at all (how can he, between 18 hours of classes and 12-15 hours of commute a week!) Mom seemed extremely "hands-on" and dominating, even during what should have been a relaxing meal.

See? See? All the best kids are being taken out of public schools with the result being that no longer will their mere presence in a public school classroom, by osmosis, I guess, cause all the dullards to become smart. And it's just not fair for the public school teachers to have to take a lot of time and effort to educate kids who can't educate themselves. Having the smart kids taken out increases their workload and level of job frustration. Those inconsiderate home schooling parents!

Well obviously the boy's genius is not the product of homeschooling, BUT without the homeschool enviroment he probably would never of reached the level he has today as soon as he has.

Bumping home schooling!

"He wasn't getting enough. And when I would go to the school and talk with the principals and tell them he needed more, they would politely tell me my son was not different and that I was just one of those parents who wanted my son to be seen as different.""

Best reason in the world to take the kid out of school.They would have destroyed his abilities.
