I expect that's what his work experience will be! His family obviously never had to battle against cash starved Local Education Authorities and narrow minded petty bureaucrats!

[/color] No, and good luck to them. They sounded a like a nice family, albeit a bit on the posh side, but I wouldn't object to living next door to them.

He'll be burnt out by 20 you mark my words! Sadly, I think you're right. It must be a tough decision, though, as a parent, when you have a gifted child. You risk them getting into mischief at school if they don't have enough to occupy their mind.

In a way the decision to take him out, but make sure he's occupied wasn't a bad one. I was a year ahead of myself at one school - I would have had to hang around there for the last year - attending classes - but just going over the stuff I'd already done with the class beneath me. I left and went to another school. Still, unfortunately back with my official year/age group - but at least the curriculum was different. In fact I was still ahead of them even with some of those differences. Not that I'm boasting or anything
