<p>Our state has a $0 budget for gifted education. My son is both gifted and has learning disabilities. We sent him to the public HS where they proposed that we do partial homeschooling – we took care of math with a tutor and writing, which he really needed to learn. On math, I paid a grad student from a local (but very elite) university to meet with him for 2-3 hours a week. In one semester, he did the entire junior year honor’s math curriculum. The next semester, he worked on something else with her. He interviewed at the local very good private HS that my daughter attended, but it was clear that they probably couldn’t handle either the tremendous gifts or the serious deficits.</p>
