I deeply admire those that do homeschooling well. We have often considered this option over the years. But it has never yet seemed to be the right thing for our family. Parental elder care duties and certain other obligations make it difficult time wise. Also, our son feels like he would miss out on the aspects of school social life that he values.<br /><br />And then there is the issue of relationship dynamics. We feel like we can relate with Danny from <a href="http://www.aspergerexperts.com/" rel="nofollow">Asperger Experts</a> who explains that he loves his mom, but that if she had tried to homeschool him, they might have killed each other.<br /><br />Still, we have worked with our son's counselors and he may end up doing some online courses instead of spending all day at school next year. We would still have to monitor and work with him on those, and frankly we're a little worried about how it will actually work out. But that may turn out to be the best option for our situation.Scott Hinrichshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831447472339880148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10424035.post-70848754466999050822015-03-18T23:34:13.072-06:002015-03-18T23:34:13.072-06:00Have you considered homeschooling?

Best scary decision ever!Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350515417994022243noreply@blogger.com
