Tucson- my son has been home schooled up until this year. It is a valid option in my opinion. He was suppose to go full time this year so that he could experience the new culture, make friend's, learn about the classes offered so in high-school he could take the classes he liked or he had with his friends. Again they refuse to test him. While I got this mess I call life cleaned up. He had been in weekly classes of over 20 kids his age, karate and other similar things before we moved. I didn't plan to have to get everything in order this year as far as his schooling goes. Especially how this mess has unfolded. I'm lucky that his father seems healthy right now. Though from the outside I'm just a little scattered. It hit my husband out of nowhere when we had the conversation of whether hospitalization was in my best interest.
The "school setting" is nothing like life or work and don't feel it's a requirement for a happy / healthy life. He will be home schooled for high school. However he will get to pick three classes of his choice to take I just wanted him to try all the classes. what if his favorite class was SS. He'll be going to the high school campus and the college campus when he his tenth grade. He is required to go to his zone school. which means zoned school for the rest of this year and looking for a charter school that will accept him. As soon as he steps foot into the zoned school he will be let back two years. Which is NOT okay. We both have chosen as most good parents to put our child's education first but we each believe in a different way to go about it. I will help him, as will his father, aunts, therapist, doctor's and teacher's to grow up happy and healthy as he can. I will not allow school politics to interfere with his growth in any way.
