Well, I've started the battle to get Sam additional staff in his mainstream class and an aide during unstructured times. He also got an N in Phys Ed. on his report card this past week which has me stymied. He's no good at push ups......maybe that's it? I'll have to research that one further. I can't remember what N stands for but it's the lowest grade; worse than I (improvement needed.)
Anyhoo.....I'm not sure how much of a battle this is going to be. I'd like to get some social skill goals on Sam's IEP because if anything he's learning more ways to be aggressive at school. He doesn't seem to get the whole rough and tumble boy thing. He sees other kids rough housing so he thinks it's ok to do all the time. He just doesn't know how to get away with things like the others so he's always in trouble. When we go in public together DH and I can remind him how to act. At the playground outside of school there are fewer kids and he has never had much trouble joining in or finding someone to run around with. It's not a huge issue outside of school.
Since I can't really work outisde the house with nursehound DS #2 (11 mos,) I'm stuck at home right now anyhow. I'd be all gung ho about homeschooling if I wasn't so sure that Sam and I'd go completely nuts being around each other 24/7. But if being at school is just confusing the social skills, what's the point? I could easily join some homeschooling group or get him into some other playgroup, but I'm afaid that he'd miss the structure of school. And I think he rather enjoys having school at school and home at home. Plus if I have to enroll him in school again what will that be like?!?!
anyone homeschool? what's that like for your family?
