Homeschooling would be difficult for us to swing, but I can see the value in that option, so I'm leaving it open.

He is failing because he doesn't turn in homework. Some of it is indeed tedious and repetitive, even in the AIG classes. I bet I don't have to explain why I think "well, just do it if it's so easy" while understanding why he doesn't.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with the guidance counselor. Again. To talk about how to make this work. Again. I think I'm just going to have to micromanage the whole situation and get daily reports from them. We are in a high poverty district so they really are overworked and overwhelmed with kids' basic needs, but it's no excuse for letting my kid flounder.

A lot to unravel, yes. I look forward to reporting some small successes (a lot has gotten better these 10ish days at home) when he returns to school this week.
