  1. I was in this position when my son was in second grade. His diagnosis was dysgraphia, ADHD, anxiety, auditory processing disorder and borderline ODD. The ODD was really beginning to become an issue. He was living under his desk at school. I pulled him out half way through grade 2 and didn't look back until this year grade 7......he is currently in online public school. I would say the following: The PS absolutely knows how to deal with dyslexia.....they just can't. Especially with the attention issues, your child needs one on one education which your school cannot provide. With all due respect, you know what to do and you are already doing it in the evenings. Just pull the plug!!! You are a psychologist. You also have a college degree and YOU ARE THE MOM!!!! You know already what is best for your child. This is what one of our public school teachers told me off the record during a phonemail. I took her advice and now I'm passing it on to you:) The other thing that teacher told me was the damage that was being done to my child by keeping him in his current situation. She was right and he got so much better emotionally when I pulled that plug. My biggest mistake in homeschooling thus far was putting my son back in public school (online) this year. Some things are working but some are NOT.......specifically Language Arts and Math......he's doing fine but it's just not how he learns and has quickly become a great source of frustration. Once again, the PS is pretending to not know what I'm talking about.....lol!!!! Good luck in your decision......and remember how capable you are!!!!!!
  2. I should add that the curriculum is solid though and the teachers have been great:)
  3. We are using Georgia Connections Academy right now. The online all day thing is not a good fit:(
  4. The OM English is amazing!!!! I love the literature lists. We will use them for grade 8 and 9 for sure:)
  5. I used OM for grades 4, 5 and 6 and used Saxon for the math. This year I moved my son to Connection Academy Public School Online and he has straight A's, but its causing him too much anxiety so we may go back to the way it used to be for grade 8 and high school. It is parent intensive, but great for use with ADHD kids because of all the interesting projects and writing assignments. He just flies with this program idk what it is!!!!
