[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 377449, member: 1169"] Sadly, she will already be in zero hour and summer school in high school. With everything she wants to study, she doesn't have time to flunk anything. In fact she needs to ace junior high in order to be approved for zero hour as a freshman. The cost to us will be $1250 per year for zero hour/summer school fees. This is on top of the $500 in fees we will already be paying. So for 4 years of a FREE public education, it will cost us (when you add in upperclassman fees)... [B][SIZE="5"]$8,000[/SIZE][/B] While our school does a great job building the self-esteem of nearly all of the children, it is not preparing her to go up against gifted or even very bright students. She is in for a very rude shock when she finally gets that there are kids out there that can blow her away academically without even trying. Her only hope of reaching her career goals is to learn to work hard. She thinks that she is going to get where she wants to go by doing 'good enough'. Considering that her 3-rd grade cousin reads at the same level as she does (and her 5th grade cousin reads books she doesn't want to 'cause they're too hard')....but she just does not get it.
