Dd is 14. She currently has Covid and in isolation, so has had a week away from school. She is hugely happier, more relaxed and calmer than when she's in school.
I think she probably has anxiety and this manifests in a desperate need to be perfect at school which is exhausting for her. Add to the mix the general misogyny of 14 year old boys that seems rife in all her classes and she's hugely stressed most of the time.
I've always been pretty anti homeschol and wouldn't consider it for a younger child, but does anyone know what options there are for a 14 year old - probably online learning as we both work full time - who's pretty bright and self-motivated?
I don't think she (or we) can take another two years of this stress.
