[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 388642, member: 6546"] MWM-- I second what Nomad is saying... My son was in the Special Education program for years. He had good teachers and a good support system and eventually, the IEP was dropped and he was placed back into a mainstream classroom full-time. He did great! But this year, I decided to homeschool. I saw the overcrowding at the middle school, the budget cuts, the large class sizes, the teacher frustration - and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that all of my son's progress was going to be lost...and that fighting for a new IEP was going to be a tough, uphill battle. And yes, we have the same issues with not being allowed to participate in school sports. The school district here is even making a stink about competing with homeschoolers in the Spelling Bee! UGH!!! But, I've discovered that lots of organizations are interested in providing services for homeschoolers. Museums open their doors with special programs and "field trips". There are also sports teams and music, art, language and science programs. There are a lot more opportunities for homeschoolers than you might think... [/QUOTE]
