    I agree with you both... but I don't want to rearrange my schedule to get to the meeting. I'm very clear on her thoughts from the Wed meeting. She wants him to shut up and color. It's a bother that he wants to interact with her and can't get the coloring done. Other than when his disability was punished, he has perfect behavior in her class.

    I'd rather send an email that we are officially withdrawing him and move on. It is far from a good environment from curriculum to teacher to the overcrowded playground (tiny tiny play area with 70 children at once!!).

    I have a pretty clear understanding of the classroom challenges with him and how poor the fit is. That was the only thing we truly accomplished on Wed at that big meeting.

    Sounds as though you're clear in your own mind, and he'll be pleased. Congratulations!

    Here an email would not officially withdraw the child. So make sure you know the policies. Here you have to write a letter of intent to homeschool effective such and such date and that goes to a particular office at the district (and I get a copy of it where it is stamped and dated received)....then you go to the actual school and sign some forms and you have to indicate where you are withdrawing to...and they code it withdrawal to homeschool (as opposed to private or moving out of district). Basically they need to know where to send a transcript and need to make sure you don't have any books (library or text books or other materials) that need to be turned in or paid for if lost.
