Thanks for the advice. We don't have charter school options here. I'd really like him to go to school because I'd like him to socialize with people (although, other middle school students might not be the best choice). I've tried to find him volunteer work, but I can't find anything he can do with other people (the SPCA says he can foster animals, but he already gets along great with animals) at his age. To join a home school group, I'd have to quit my job, but we might break even if the alternative is private school.
