suggestion - maybe checking in with other home schooling parents can help. I have many clients that have turned to homeschooling. by calling the school district you are in, they can give you a list of people who are homeschooling their children.

(in the USA parents have to register their children as "home schooling" and check in with the state and local school district on the requirements and state testing, and the states achievement tests and other elementary, jr high and high school standards for public and home schooling,that have been put in place when the "no child left behind" and school laws for the USA were put in place a few yrs back by the president of the USA was enacted. So all students school age now has to be accounted for either in public, private or homeschooling programs.)

Also you spoke of a "group" of you went on a fiend trip. talk with some of the groups parents that are also homeschooling. let them know when you are having a hard time and they can help pick up the slack.

homeschooling is kind of like a co op. parents have their own things they do with their kids and things the home schooled kids do with other home schooled kids for socialization and classes. home schooling parents help each other out. this one needs help with that, that one needs help with that kind of thing.

no matter which state my clients are relocating to we have had no problem setting up their home schooling and their connecting with other home schooling parents in case of sickness or other needs where the parent homeschooling needs a bit of help some days.

if any of your kids qualify fir IEP services the school district can also help you out by sending a teacher to you so many days a week if your child cant be managed in a standard public school setting..

your school district might be able to or can give you all kinds of other resources too that may be available to home schoolers that can help you.
