I personally was home-schooled towards the end of my school years (I'm in the UK, so from 15-16 years old,) and it was better for me, personally. I liked how the learning was tailored to me specifically and working one-on-one, rather than in a large class of 28+.

Thanks again for the responses. It's good to see the range of positions and get input.
He isn't getting much out of the therapist he is seeing now (she is very kind and gentle, but older). I am advocating we switch therapists and keep working on this. I would like to concentrate on that and try and ride out this school year. We'll see how it goes.

Making it through the school year is probably a good course to take. Quitting in the middle of things is not a good precedent to set.
I think getting to the cause of the anxiety is important. Just switching to home schooling without addressing this may turn out okay, but is probably not addressing the problem.

Sorry, didn't read all of it. Sorry if repeating someone else.
My son hated school but started hating it around 4th grade. Cried everyday. We had him tested and found out severely dyslexic. My wife figured it out not the school. Public schools and disabilities is a topic for another time. Anyway, we eventually got him into a dyslexic school. He had to leave at 6:20 in the am and drive 2hrs each way to get to. He complained but really loved the school. He is now boarding at a dyslexic high school. It is amazing the transformation. Maybe something to test for. |

Oh, we did therapists (Plural), didn't help. Anxiety and anger.
Giving him a place where he could learn made all the difference. Good luck. |

We pulled my son a month into school year. I think sooner than later was important. It shows if there is a problem, fix it. We are talking about a boy, not a leaky roof.

His classes have never had more than 10 kids in them, more often he is in a class with 5-7 kids. He started in Montessori in pre-primary and most of primary, then moved on to regular private schooling from 6th to 10th grade. His tuition is close to 20K a year and the school we are using is 25 miles away. That is why we bought the i3. I keep saying in my head, 2 more years 2 more years 2 more years. He should be close to a 2 years degree by graduation so there is that. Then I just want to him to finish up 2 more years of collage and get a 4 years degree. So far he wants to be a civil engineer. I know that can change. I look forward to him designing backwards bridges.
