[QUOTE="agee, post: 386132"] Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. I know that difficult child will learn better at home - even at 8, heck, even in kindergarten, he'd tell you he can pay attention better when he's in a small group or working with one person. And the amount they actually get accomplished in 2nd grade is pretty minimal - I think we can accomplish more. I've been thinking that if we do it we'll take some steps backwards and focus on basic skills he should have learned in 1st grade and which he didn't. Some of his current struggle was due to that lost year. I just worry about its impact on me, my work schedule, my frustration level. Every morning here is horrible, however, and every afternoon it's 2 hours for him to do the small amount of homework sent home. I may have a pretend home school day next week and see how it goes - find out exactly what they're doing in school and keep him home and do it. If we *did* do it I wouldn't start until after the winter holiday break. If things keep going well it would be the start of next year. But if last week was an indication it's not going to keep going well. Lots to think about. A [/QUOTE]
