(((perpetuallysad))) If your son is miserable in school, why don't you home school him? I know it is very expensive, check to see if there is a virtual school that your state recognizes.

I put it off for many years because I was afraid of socialization issues and that I was not qualified to do their education justice. I truly regret waiting for so long. The boys and truly enjoyed that experience. You mentioned that 8 hours is too long. But when I homeschooled them, nearly every day their siblings came home from school and we were still plugging away. THEY would say "let's just finish this first". It was very often dinner time before we were finished. But then they didn't have homework either.

There are many options for socialization. He can still play with the friends he has now, he doesn't need to lose contact with them because he's homeschooled.
