[QUOTE="Fran, post: 380373, member: 3"] For me, homeschooling was not an option. I agree that we squeezed difficult child into an environment that wasn't suited for his particular need. He has several large Learning Disability (LD)'s. If the experts couldn't teach him math, I know I can't. He has been tutored since 2nd grade in math. He still at 26, doesn't really conceptualize money. Very dangerous in the real world. People take advantage of him and he lost some self control when he had access to his own account. So depending on your child, homeschooling may be a great idea or it could be a big mistake. I think there are plenty of socialization opportunities for her in the community. Remember, it's not written in stone. If it doesn't work out, you can always try a different alternative. Don't think it means you are a failure. You are doing what your child needs and you think this may be a better option. Maybe she needs some time to not have the pressure that comes with our difficult children to fit into a round hole, shaped like a square peg. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
