I just thought I would share my story. My son it seems like many others, is falling through the cracks in public school. He is now in the 7th grade and has been struggling since about 4th grade. He has been diagnosed with dsygraphia. He has also been making some really poor choices in school. He now has 1 month left in school and is in danger of failing the 7th grade, not because of inablilty to do the work just lack of concentration or he loses it. He has started skipping school with some other kids and like I said is making some poor choices. The school doesn't seem to help me in the fact that he is skipping or with his dysgraghia, so I don't really know what to do. It seems ashame to pull him out with only 1month left, but if he won't do the work what is the use in leaving him there.
I can't decide what the best answer for him will be part of me thinks home schooling and part of me thinks he should at least finish this year. Sorry for all of the rambling just looking for advice.
