To cut a very long story short, my eldest DD has aspergers and is in year 8. She has hated secondary since its start and we have already had to move her once as bullying lead to suicidal thoughts.
She has been so happy and relaxed in lockdown and she has stopped hair pulling for the first time in two years.
Yesterday she went back to school and when she got back her fingernails were bitten to the quick and she has been pulling again (eyebrows). As I'm disabled and clinically vulnerable to Covid they put her in a room, entirely alone with a teacher for six hours (I was told there would be a little bubble of kids). Clearly that's not healthy or sustainable.
She desperately wants to be home schooled again (she was home schooled for a whole in year 6) but I can't afford an online high school right now and I've just enrolled on a degree myself after already putting it off for years, so not sure how I would balance it all as I have two in primary as well.
My university have said I can study from home this year but it would still be a massive juggling act and, particularly where maths and science are concerned I'm worried I wouldn't be able to educate her properly.
Can anyone give me any thoughts/advice on what to do? I'm coming to the conclusion she will never be happy at high school.
Thank you!
