 Hi all.
Just a quick question... Do any of you homeschool? If so, how do you handle homeschooling and "mental illness" at the same time?
Reason I am asking, is that a number of months ago I made the decision (after much deliberation and research) to homeschool my two girls (11 and 12). Every one is pretty much on my side when it comes to this, except for my mental health workers supervisor... My worker said she doesn't agree with it, but, she said she will support me regardless as that is her job! But her supervisor is making her write a letter to my Pdoc. I haven't seen him since May. (long story short.. no transportation to his town as I no longer drive).
The Education Act here in Canada doesn't include "who can't and why not's" it only states that the home educator must provide "satisfactory instruction" and that can only be investigated by the Board of Education in who's territory you reside. So, legally I don't really have to worry, but I am worried regardless.
Any thoughts on how to deal with this possible situation?
Blessings
Mischka
