[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 134317"] We tried many things with our difficult child. We partially homeschooled her a few years, and those were by far the best years for her and our family. She took two classes at Public School and we did the rest at home. Public School (full time) at first (early years) was okay, but that quickly changed and was problematic. We put her in a private school for Learning Disability (LD) kids and that was better due to small classrooms and more caring teachers/administration. However, the curriculum was not ideal. I think the right private school or a top notch homeschooling program would be ideal. (best options for most of us). However, be careful that if you switch to private school...that you still stay involved. (I have seen this happen...parents breathe a sigh of relief...but parental involvement is often key to a child's success). I think public school is a possibility, but there are few that do a really good job due to funding and overcrowding. in my humble opinion, most would be hard pressed to find a public school able to do a good job...but if your school is not overcrowded,, they are cooperative and you work closely with them, it can be done.
