[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 77734, member: 1498"] INVEGA is sort of an extended release version of a reformulation of Risperdal which is notorious (at least around my household) for causing manboobs. They may not go away on their own. Homebound for higher grades doesn't work if the teacher is only coming 3 hours a week. It won't just be a matter of getting him to do the work, it will be a matter of teaching him. A homebound instructor won't have time to teach much of anything in one hour visits (especially if his travel time is included in the hour). They pretty much drop off new work and pick up old work. No time to teach. When my son was home bound he was taking geometry, chemistry, Latin, English, and social studies. Few parents can teach those subjects. I'm actually qualified to teach social studies but so was the homebound instructor they sent. Pretty much there was no instruction in the other four subjects and the teacher actually brought a movie for the social studies. I wasn't impressed. We ended up unschooling which worked because my son is very bright, curious and had a lot of time on his hands. (His social- and agoro-phobias kept him home [I]all[/I] the time.) Unschooling isn't really legal in PA where school districts are responsible to oversee curriculum of homeschools but my son was old enough to quit school which is what he did. On the other hand, the school probably would have done anything toget him out so they weren't about to object to whatever method I decided on if I decided to homeschool. [/QUOTE]
