The “H” Word: Home Schooling
Shery Butler
As a public educator, I frowned on parents who chose to teach their children at home—until I became one of those parents. My family moved to a rural town because of my husband’s job. When my children entered the public school system, I was surprised to find limited services for the gifted and talented. Students with above-average ability were allowed unlimited access to the library and the Chapter One computer lab until school officials cited regulations that only students in the gifted program were permitted to use the lab. No other computers were available to students at the school.
