[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 91959, member: 1233"] While school work is always a concern, sometimes it has to take a back burner. When we first started homeschooling my oldest (we did this for 2 years 3rd and 4th grade) a friend in the homeschool coop described it as this: Sometimes you have to start with teaching them to be a better person instead of just focusing on being an educated person. She did NOT mean that a child with problems is a bad or less worthy person. What she meant was that taking the time out to teach our kids how to get along with others, control their tempers, and work with their problems was probably much more important than adding and subtracting or language arts. School work can be caught up. If we had the chance to do it all over again, I would have driven my son the 1 1/2 hours each way to the day treatment program on the far other side of Cincy. At the time my health just made it impossible, so we did other things. This can be a great opportunity. If it is just 2 weeks, then it may well be worth the time out of school. [/QUOTE]
