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.
And there are some homeschoolers who come back to public schools two years behind. What's your point?
