Does anyone have experience of leaving school (end of year 8) for home education? Its a frightening prospect but we are so unhappy with the education that DS is receiving that we have to do something before a bright creative boy ends up with 5 mediocre GCSEs. The school are unsympathetic and defensive. DS agrees that the teaching is unispired but is worried about becoming a home ed 'freak'. The only alternative schools are grammar and his levels aren't up to standard yet. Our idea is to take year 9 out and try to get him up to scratch at home and with tutors ready to apply for a grammar place in year 10.
I would love to hear from anybody who has any experience of making a similar, drastic move or any advice other mums/teachers might have.
