[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 40126, member: 1169"] I have Tigger's Annual Review meeting tomorrow. Tigger is once again home from school. I am so torn about whether to go with their suggestion of keeping him at school or my gut instinct and homeschool him. He has refused school completely about 20 days so far this year. In the first part of the year, I'd drag him in kicking and screaming. So he refused another 15 or so but was physically forced to go. He has been restrained due to danger to self/others about 30 times this year. He also has slept through at least 1 hour of the school day on multiple occasions. But when he has been at school and is not being restrained or sleeping, he does very well LOL. The school is -- of course -- opposed to homeschooling on principle. My points in favor of keeping him at school [*]access to Special Education services[*]a break for me[*]additional chances to work on social skills My points in favor of homeschooling [*]consistency in academic work[*]decreased battles at home (no fighting to get him to school)[*]lower anxiety for Tigger[*]no restraints for Tigger My husband and I are going to talk it through again tonight and decide what we are going to do.
