[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 122327, member: 1233"] Hi! If you are just thinking of doing this to avoid testing, they WILL do testing when you put her back in school. We have homeschooled at different times for different ages. difficult child forgrades 2 & 3, Jess for part of 1st (until we moved and the teacher was awesome), and Jess for grades 6 and now 7. We are planning to send her back for 8th grade through high school. (We pulled her partly because her medical issues and partly because the school is just horrible - they actively TELL you they don't want you in the building except for parent teacher conference and book fair and registration!!!!! And they do NOTHING about bullying, etc.... This is ONLY in our middleschool, our jr high and high school are great) Anyway, it takes about a year to adjust to homeschooling, so I have counselled people not to do it if they are not going to make a 1 year commitment. Many homeschool groups advise this. But almost ALL schools will make her take a placement test to re-enter, and then will put her wherever they feel is the "best" place. It is not always with the same grade as before. Hope I didn't rain on your parade too much. Can you get some books on HOW to take tests and work on that with her at home? Or have the counsellor or whomever work with her on this? HOW to take a test is as important as knowing the material. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
