My four grandchildren were home schooled two years. Their mother has a bachelor of science from a top university and additionally trained as a teacher. When the children entered public schools upon testing it turned out each child was at least two years academically ahead of the rest of his/her class. The two boys are the youngest as well as the top students in their classes seemingly without much effort. Where they are benefitting is making new friends and getting into various group activities and team athletics. Unfortunately, their schools being public they plod along at an excruciatingly slow pace academically speaking.
