would be much more common if there were fewer kids who enjoyed learning and
were given the chance.





There's probably some merit to this but, otoh, the reason some of us started
hsing (and have ending up doing a sort of blended unschooling sort of on good
days and we'll see how things change over time!) is that the ps system was
unable to meet our gifted kids' needs.  We have discovered many other good
things about hsing, but g/t issues were the beginning of the problem with ps.
 Some kids really are g/t and some aren't and there's no use comparing them
or denying either one exists.

Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] giftedness Oh, I definitely agree with you, Nance, and there will be some kids who are never considered gifted no matter how they are schooled. My point was just that maybe more kids would be allowed to explore their true potential and more might be considered gifted if more were homeschooled.
