[QUOTE="agee, post: 386351"] Thank you, thank you. I don't think we have free virtual school for kids my son's age in my state, although there is virtual high school and possible middle school. I looked at time4learning and I think it will really do the trick re:basic skills stuff. I would take him all the way back to 1st grade skills work to re-learn and also give him some success. He is experiencing epic failure currently, and it won't hurt to review all the stuff he missed last year. I understand about the need for socialization and also respite. My neighbor/friend suggested I enroll him in our school's after-school program a couple times a week. I can do this with-o him attending the school and I think it's a great idea. He was in the program last year because I worked and that plus a full day of school was too much, but if he had school at home he could go and play for a couple of hours with other kids, giving him friends and giving me a break. I love this idea. This morning getting ready for school was horrible, which both deterred me from wanting to do this but also supported why I probably need to do this. He would not get ready. Would not put on shoes. Would not get in the car. I had to literally pick him up and throw him in the car, backpack and shoes following. He was handed over to a teacher at school with-one shoe on, one shoe off. It made me sick to my stomach. I really appreciate the feedback. [/QUOTE]
