[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 703946, member: 1233"] WOW! What happened? That is a pretty big change. Not saying that I don't understand or support you, just that it seems sudden. Of course I was the strange mom who sometimes had one child in school and two homeschooled or vice versa. I always felt the decision had to be based on what was best for the individual child and what options were available for that child at that time, not a blanket decision for the entire family. Mostly because my 3 kids are so very very different. I am assuming that you will homeschool him for the rest of the year? I hope you can continue to explore why he had such a tough time in the classroom with the evaluations, because I think something was going on there. I will say that it takes time to settle into homeschooling, and it means months not weeks. I would look into local homeschool groups and their activities, usually you can find them online. Many are religious though if you are not, your area may have some that are not religiously based. You also may want to explore the HSLDA, Homeschool Legal Defense Assn ( [URL]http://www.hslda.org/[/URL] ) . Their website can help you understand the state laws and how best to comply with them and avoid hassles. I found them invaluable esp when my district tried to refuse to follow state laws requiring them to issue letters excusing homeschooled children from attending public schools. The district didn't have a leg to stand on, violated our rights and tried to get the police to arrest me, and ended up with their superintendent in HUGE trouble. Knowing your rights is ALWAYS a good thing, in my opinion. I am sorry things went badly with the school. I know you had such high hopes a few weeks ago. I really hope that things get better soon.
