DS is in year 4, dyslexic, and has hated school for much of the time since year 1. Initially he got little SEN support - that has improved somewhat but he still struggles in the classroom - particularly with writing. Other issues have included friendships, staff he disliked/was scared of, and generally patches of extreme anxiety about going to school/school refusal. There have also been times when he's been relatively happy and settled - although they don't last long - and overall things have improved from a very low point in years 2/3.
We're in a 'bad patch' again now and after another horrible morning I'm thinking about what might be our best option - to move schools (I worry his school refusal and unhappiness could increase in this scenario), to home educate (just about possible for us work-wise), or to keep trying to improve things for him at his current school. Any views/experiences much appreciated.
