I did not even see this thread. So awesome. I want to share my feelings.
My 4 and half year old is very bright. I am not sure if he is gifted or what, we havent actually had him tested, but he is bright alright. He is wanting to do his tables already...
. We have been homeschooling him, and he does not know school. BUT, off late he has been driving me up the walls. He is frustrated, he does not want to be home ever, and will throw a huge strop if we go home esp from friends or my parents home. So hubby and I put our heads together and we decided to put him in school for the rest of the school year(our year goes from Jan-Dec). And see how it goes! Perhaps he will be less frustrated, perhaps he will be ready to continue homeschooling, perhaps he will continue in school. I struggle to keep up with him. He loves doing many things, but he does not want to learn to read and write. Perhaps it is my lack of skill in teaching him not sure. He is a sweet little boy, and I worry for him, as I remember my school days as a softer, more introverted child, but I must remember that I should not compare my experience to his.
Once he is in school, should I do a bit more with him when he is home, or just let him play? He is going to a Montesorri based school now, and is going to a regular public school next year for his Grade 0 year. Any thoughts. Thanks!
