What do you want to know especially?
My son, Jamie, is 14 and in year 9 and suffers with dyspraxia...
Dyspraxia is a learning disability, but also comes with social and behavioural difficulties, and this is the bit the school doesn't get..
He struggles to cope with mainstream school, to the point that just getting him there is a nightmare, the anxiety he goes through is off the scale. His condition means he just doesn't fit in, and intern is bullied within an inch of he's life...
After Xmas we managed to get him on a reduced time table after a particularly bad situation where he was sat on top of a car park and had to be talked down by the police!
The school were understanding for a few weeks then insisted he went back full time, despite us telling them it's to soon, which it was because after 2 days the bulling started and he ended up just walking out and coming home.
So today i have another meeting with the school to look forward to.....
Hence why me and my wife have started to look into home schooling, he's a bright lad and far from stupid.
Main concerns we have is as we both work, would it still be doable?
He's 15 in September so not a young kid that needs constant monitoring and I know what he learns can be left to our discretion.
I even thought of taking him with me a few days a week, trying some of the online learning programmes, and even a private tutor some of the time.
Our main concern is exams, can they still take them..?
I don't want him to suffer because he has no qualifications, but on the other hand I don't want him going through what he's going through now..
Who ever said having kids was easy!!
