The reason behind my home schooling was the school she was in. My mom had passed away the previous school year (in March) and my Lexi and her were extremely close. After my mom passed she became extremely clingy, afraid that if she wasn't with me I would pass away. When she started the new school year (3rd grade) they would literally have to rip her off of me. She screamed and cried and it broke my heart. Then came the problem of her being able to focus, because she had the irrational fear that while she was away from me I to would die. 3 weeks into the school year her teacher told me she wasn't going to pass. I felt this teacher had given up on my daughter and didn't have any compassion for the situation so I went to the principal and counselor and requested that she be put into another class. At 3 weeks into the school year a teacher should not be making the assumption that any student will not pass. They refused to change her teachers and where we lived it was too late to change her schools so I pulled her out and home schooled her. It was a good option for us. The area had a ton of home schooling activities so that kids got plenty of socialization. I also have a sister who home schools her son and my best friend. They actually both do virtual schooling. It may be an option in your area and you should check it out. They both home school their sons because they are autistic and the class atmosphere is not for their kids. My sister tried public schools and private schools, they just didn't work.<br />I think home schooling isn't for everybody, but it is a good option for those who need it. As long as the kids are still being socialized it's a wonderful option. With virtual schooling becoming more and more popular it's helping a lot of students and parents. I know that thru virtual schooling my friends son has advanced so much. Estes Family Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076202989117363611noreply@blogger.com
