Ds is nearly 9 and is having a hellish time at school. He's currently being assessed for ADHD/ASD/dyspraxia, has made no real friends, is always in trouble, has been excluded for his behaviour and just generally doesn't enjoy the whole being in a group thing. On a one to one basis, he's generally great, and I can get more out of him in an hour than school do in a week, as he's more relaxed at home.
I really, really want to home ed, but, as a single parent and therefore the only breadwinner, I need to work to survive. I do two part time jobs, which is the minimum I need to earn to pay all bills, and I'm looking at options for retraining and working from home, which would make life easier. I feel he would benefit from HE so much, even if only for these last two years of Primary, as it would let us press the reset button and get him away from the main cause of stress (he HATES school).
So, is there anyone out there in my position and managing to work and HE successfully? Interested to hear others experiences!

I really want to HE but I'm a single parent and need to work too! How can I work round this?
