I will post on the HE topic too but I know that some of you on here do home-ed and i would like some opinions.
DS2 has AS, he is bright but has dyslexia type learning difficulties and finds concentrating in school v. difficult.
He dutifully puts up with school but is not exactly thriving (or benefiting much socially ATM).
I have helped him a lot with his reading difficulties and am seriously considering teaching him at home for a year, mainly so that he could catch -up academically with where his peers are, i think this would help him get more out of school in the long term.
Timing is the issue, next year is the second last year of primary, i either take him out next year and then he goes back in so that he can transition to high school with children he knows 0r, as he is one of the youngest in the class, I could keep him back a year at home before he starts high school.
We are probably moving into a different local authority later this year, in fact to a tiny village with a school with 10 pupils only so that is another alternative.
Anyone else tried anything similar.
Forgot to say he has just turned 9.
