[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 380616, member: 1991"] Littlehawk, welcome. When you can, why not start your own thread and introduce yourself. You make a very good point for Jena here. Your schooling method sounds similar to ours (in that the curriculum material is outsourced) and you r finding is similar - he's working more efficiently and more effectively, it seems. In our case we often think he's still not achieving to his capability nor to the level of a normal kid in a mainstream classroom, but he is achieving more than HE could in a mainstream setting, which is what matters for us. You also make a very good point about being better placed to keep an eye on changes due to medications, when your child is at home. Something to help - our rule of "school work during school hours". Other than that, we let difficult child 3 choose which subject to work on, although if he is neglecting one area we draw his attention to that; he generally will balance it all out. But some days he needs to avoid more challenging subjects, which he will attempt on other days when he is coping well. Success is the best positive motivator. Marg [/QUOTE]
