[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 194972, member: 5663"] For us personally, no way, she likes school. For others, I'd tend to say no because you need some time away from these kids to try to gather back some sanity! If you do choose to homeschool, I know there are programs that help enrich the kids education and get them together with other homeschoolers. I think they tend to add more activities so they get to hang out with other kids. But if your child is no happy in their school, why not change schools? Find a charter school that fits your child. I have a friend who's son was being bullied and she transferred him to the Waldorf school (we have one in the public system). We have our daughter in an "alternative" school where the parents are required to put in up to 16 hours of work a month (usually work in the class 1-2 days plus some extra jobs from time to time, it's more like 10 hrs). This means there is an extra parent in the class most of the time which helps the teacher teach better, and allows the extra adult to deal with issues if they come up. It helps build community and helps us see who those problem kids are and confront them directly if they're doing something like bulling. We are Parent-Teachers while on duty. For a short term solution, offer to volunteer some time in your child's classroom (coping, cutting things out, organizing the next days work, etc). I can guess the teacher would love some extra help and you could see how things are really working out. [/QUOTE]
