[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 313993, member: 8226"] Something we ran across here, in brainstorming options, was the "online school" idea. I saw a reference to that idea earlier in the thread and wonder if the state readily accepted that as an option. My state seems to be a little slow to catch on to many of the newer alternatives. We found a couple that had the appropriate credentials, along with some that IMPLIED they had the credentials but upon looking more closely, we found they did not. (And since my difficult child just recently decided to give up the idea of education entirely, I recently deleted all our research information from the computer). My point is that this is an option your state probably has to accept, although they probably don't list that in their official list of options and may argue. What we found was that as long as she was enrolled in a legitimate school, online or not, and was meeting the requirements set by that online school, that was a legal alternative, only VERY recently recognized in my state. I don't know if that would be technically termed "homeschooling," but could work as a good hybrid to take some of the pressure off you. Personally, our local school system isn't too "with it" when it comes to looking at situations "outside the box." I'm currently involved in some ridiculous exchanges with them over some issues with my difficult child. [/QUOTE]
