It might be more important to consider the time that his/her parents have to devote to schooling, their experience in designing and communicating curricula, the social benefit of surrounding yourself with other driven youth, etc., than to decide solely based on comparative intelligence.

Well, yeah, all of that–I just used “smarter” as shorthand. I think homeschooling is somewhere between home cooking and home dentistry in terms of the potential consequences of a practitioner who isn’t skilled.</p>
