I wondered if anyone would be happy to share their experience of taking their dc out of secondary school to Home Ed, either short term or long term? My DS is 12, has Aspergers, and is in Year 8 at a mainstream school. He hates it, has pretty much stopped going. I'm so tempted to try home schooling for a year, in part so we could take our time finding another type of school. I'd have to not work for a year. We'd be broke, but it's like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders, he's so stressed there.
My ideal scenario is that we'd find a great school eventually and he'd go back into school in Sept 2018 in Year 9, he's an August birth so really young for his year, as well as having ASD, so we'd alleviate that issue a little bit too. Or who knows, maybe we'd love Home Ed so much we'd continue. He has a statement of SEN so not sure what happens with that.
Would LOVE to hear from others who've done it!
