Homeschooling for Twice-Exceptional Students: When Public School Doesn't Work
Franklin-Rohr, Cheryl
Understanding Our Gifted, v24 n4 p17-18 Sum 2012
As a teacher in a public school system, the author had a different perspective on the need to home school the twice-exceptional learner. She thought that schools could provide differentiation for all students and she thought that certified teachers were the only adults who should be providing instruction. Yet, she realized that there are times when schools are not the best place to teach twice-exceptional students. After researching several home-schooling options, she has also come to awareness that there is a continuum of services that are available, and the school districts can help out with providing several options. When parents make the decision that their twice-exceptional child needs an alternative environment, there are many resources and options available.
