[QUOTE="helpmeplease, post: 40544, member: 3662"] bystander- if you really want to teach your children at home, please don't let that discourage you! There are many curriculums that you can purchase that lay it all out for you, support groups, coops, etc. You need to remember that no one but you has your childrens' best interest in mind when it comes to teaching them. Especially if they are a difficult child. My daughter's teachers at school would be perfectly happy to let her slide by barely passing. In fact, they'd be happy to let her fail. They don't know her like I do and they certainly won't plan their lessons and teaching methods based on her learning style. They teach the way they teach and if my child doesn't fit the mold, then she has no hope. At least at home, you have the advantage of taking it slow, moving quickly, and even taking a full year to do one school year's worth of work if that is what will help your child succeed. The possibilities with homeschooling are endless. Don't underestimate yourself! But, like I said earlier, at this time I just can't keep my oldest home. She is violent and disrespectul every time I ask her to do anything. I'd like to keep that to a minimum and keep the younger two from being exposed to her fits for now, so I do understand anyone with a difficult child who doesn't want to homeschool. It must be so hard with a kid with a conduct disorder. I can't even imagine. [/QUOTE]
