cornelia9805 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm thinking at this point that my SN child needs more help than I can give her. I'm going to talk to the school she is currently in to see what they can do, but I'm pretty sure she would end up with an IEP in public school so she'd have way more resources available. Unless something drastically changes, I'm afraid homeschooling will irrepairably damage our relationship. I'm not sure that it hasn't already. I already have a meeting set up tomorrow with her history/literature teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplyme99 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 :grouphug: I don't know what your DD's SN is ... but the structure and getting out of the house and into a more formal setting may help her. You can only do what you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinNY Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I made this decision for my LD dtr last year. I appreciate the support from the special ed teachers. I still after school her and get her private speech besides the speech she gets in school. She has an IEP and I have put a lot of effort into learning about that process and making sure her goals, accommodations etc are just right for her. It wasn't an easy decision but I also did it to help our relationship. The end of last school year she read aloud to her class how I was the most important person in her life. That I was always there to help her with school and math etc. Yes! Finally I wasn't the bad guy...I was her cheering squad, coach and Mom. She is in a new school this year. She and I are both ready to homeschool again if things don't go well...but I am hoping and will work towards a successful year for her.

Tiramisu Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm another one who put one in it to preserve our relationship and the relationships with the rest of the family. This one is just much, much better off in school. She just needs that structure and routine, or else.... Today was her first day back, and she was very happy. I was happy, too. ;) I was so happy I went through the halls hugging the principal and teachers we know. I'm thankful we have a decent option.

cornelia9805 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm glad I'm not the only one that has considered it or has done it. Right now she has some time to get her stuff together. She was actually in school today (she goes 2 days a week) and so it was much calmer. She also had a therapy appt that her therapist, myself, and my DD discussed school. There were some interesting information discussed in the appointment that my DH and I need to address. Overall I feel better about homeschooling, at least for the short term. I also met with her literature/history teacher today and she has a lot of great systems set up. She is willing to set up a special system for my DD if she continually misses assignments or doesn't complete them adequately. I can definitely see the possibility of homeschooling working while yesterday I had pretty much written it off. Her SN is ADHD-Inattentive with Auditory Processing deficiencies. She needs to be screened for social, emotional, and behavioral issues. I hope to get that process started the beginning of next week. Thanks again for listening! ETA: She is the 13 year old so the age makes the situation even more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a great plan if you have the option of part-time school, and wonderful that you're starting the screeing. About the age, everyone is different but my dd with CAPD, who was very intense when she was younger, really mellowed out in the teen years and has grown up very nicely.

Ottakee Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We made the decision to put our girls into public school starting in 7th grade. It has been a good decision. They both get special education services and love the social interactions, etc. It also gets me out of the center of the battles of education with 15dd. Sometimes it is for the best.

CarolineN Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I put my oldest in public school last year for 2nd grade. It made a huge difference in our relationship. It's been a really fantastic situation for him all around, actually. He's happy and thriving and things are going beautifully. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
