I home-schooled my 2 boys for 3 years. When I decided to return the younger to public school, they tested him. In spite of learning disabilities, my younger (re-entering into 8th grade) scored at grade 16 in science! He scored 6 gold medals and one silver, in the local "Olympics of the Mind". For all the help I got (zero), I could have been just teaching Nintendo 101 and no one would have said a thing. All I had to do to keep the school system "happy" was turn in an attendance report once a month. There was a LOT of opportunity for abuse of the system. Fortunately for my boys, I gave them a good education. Who is doing the teaching, makes all the difference. - Granny:hippy:
