[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 37183, member: 3199"] I have always wanted to homeschool my kids. Because the courts will listen to a teacher saying difficult child 1 is being abused and not me saying it so difficult child 1 needed to go to public school. When the time came to sign up for kindergarten he was pooping his pants. I've taught a kid that did that at school and know the kind of social stigma that can come with it. Also, learning disorders run rampunt in my family. I decided to homeschool him. I have a teaching certificate, worked in sp. ed., and knew what I wanted to teach him. We spent most of the day on behavior issues. He would spend all day in time out refusing to put his name on the paper, pick up a pencil, ect.. Anything to get into a power struggle. During that school year he did learn to read and got a very good foundation in math. (How I don't know because it felt like he was in time out the whole time.) He also got his pooping problem undercontrol. For 1st grade he is in public school, where the courts will believe the teacher if difficult child 1 ever says anything, and his behavior is great. Sorry this is so long, it just depends on the kid. My mom took me out of school and homeschooled for 1/2 a year because I'm a perfectionist and staying up until 1-2 am with homework (I was 9). She tried to do the same thing with a brother of mine because of his bad behavior at school and it blew up in her face. He acted worse for her then he did at school. What she ended up doing is working at the school to keep an eye on him. [/QUOTE]
