[QUOTE="FinallySeekingPeace, post: 108751, member: 4437"] OneDay.. thanks.. The school actually did offer to test him for Gifted.. after I turned in my affidavit to homeschool him..lol The superintendant had a meeting with us, he had difficult child read some from a book he had brought along (mind you this was right after 1st grade), the book was a 5th grade level book! After he read it he asked difficult child to tell him about what he read and his eyes got huge when he realized how much difficult child had actually taken from the reading.. more than just the words.. but the meanings behind them. He is an avid reader.. and loves Goosebumps and other "scarey" stories. As long as I'm able to homeschool him he will stay at home.. as well as the two little ones.. It really was what I had wanted to do from the beginning, but before our little ones came along I planned on going back to work when he started K, but before he started K (actaully right after I quit my job because husband wanted me home with difficult child to give him a smooth life for a while) I got pregnant with easy child 1 and easy child 2 came right after she was born..lol. Needless to say for me to work now I would have to pay a few hundred dollars a week just for daycare. I really do enjoy schooling the kids, I just wish difficult child would show some interest in it and respect the fact that I put hours and hours into his education that I really don't need to, just so that he has fun and learns in his own way and he would be thankful for all my work at least a little bit.
