What am I doing??

First of all I would like to introduce my children.
My daughter is 10, she likes to read, she resists changes, follows rules to a T, and will give 100% to anything that she does. She is a perfectionist and hate to get a wrong answer and will not forgive herself if she makes a mistake.

My son is 9 years old, a voracious reader, always curious and loves maths. He has a mind of his own and will do anything that he thinks can be done. He is very messy, has zero patience, extremely competitive and have very strong opinions. He absolutely hate to dance and sing in a group, but he is absolutely funny when he is at home.

My youngest daughter is 7 years old and all she wants to know and read is about oceans and whales. She is totally focused on that topic and can read a whale fact book over and over and over. She wants to work at the aquarium when she grows up. She is a very strong willed child.

I didn't not want my children to undergo cognitive tests because I don't think those tests means anything. However the teacher who works with my children when they attend challenge program has certified them gifted.

What I found after dealing with the Canadian school system the last 3 years is that if your child is smart, then for sure they are sidelined. I don't blame the teacher, because she only has 5 hours to teach and there are children withe learning/behaviour disability attending the same class and they deserve the attention.
There is an Independent Education plan ( IEP) for children like mine. Again it is self taught because the child has to do most of the work and there is very little input from the teacher. Apart from the IEP there is also a 9 weeks of challenge program offered by the ministry. However giftedness is a year round phenomenon and attending a program for 9 weeks is of no use.
Then there is MACC for grade 5,6, 7. ( Multi age cluster class). At the end of grade 7, the child has to go back to normal school because there is no program for higher grade.

The way the system works is that if the child wants to know more, then they should find the answers to the question by themselves. The same way, if the child wants to learn more, they should ask for more work.
Neither of the above scenes work with my children. They are too impatient to find the answer and they are too shy to ask for more work.
Yesterday my son wanted to know if Marmot was a mammal. I asked him to check the encyclopedia.
This is what written in the encyclopedia
Mammal, an animal of the highest class of vertebrates, the mammalia. The female has mammary glands, which secrete milk for the nourishment of the young after birth.In the majority of mammals the body is partially or wholly covered with hair,the heart has 4 chambers and only the left aortic arch is present and a muscular diaphragm separates the chest from the abdominal cavity.
I am a medical doctor and everything written above made absolute sense to me. But not to my son. he didn't know what is a diaphragm, he didn't know why heart has 4 chambers and he didn't know what is a left aortic arch. ( honestly I didn't know how to explain that either)
All he wanted to know was Is a marmot a mammal? I could have asked him to find out himself what is a diaphragm and the other things. I didn't, because I knew what would be the outcome. He would just walk away frustrated and angry.
So I explained the general features of mammals, using me as an example, then told him that like everything else in life there is a grey area.. For example egg laying Platypus, breast feeding bats etc.
He was happy.
At the end, for me that is all that matters.

I finally figured, I need to do something for my children.

I am not a good teacher. Like my son I have zero patience.
I am my own enemy and absolutely hate myself when i don't know something. I don't forgive myself if I make a mistake and I hate making phone calls and talking to people. I read a lot and I like to write. I hate to work in a group and I am a loner by choice. I live by rules( my own) and I have 100's of rules. I have photographic memory and remembers almost everything that I see by images stored in my brain.

At present I am planning to take my kids off school once a week and teach them at home. I don't have any clear guidelines as to how I am going to go about it. But I like challenges and I don't usually give up. So I am hoping something better will come out of this adventure.
