Oh, Debbie... this is so disappointing. I was hoping and praying the meeting wouldn't go this way. Do they not understand how miserable your DS is in the current situation?
Well, next step is to regroup and assess your options, which it sounds like you're doing already. Is homeschooling (part- or full-time) your only feasible option right now? Any other schools in the area--or would DS be reluctant to leave friends? The idea of homeschooling in the mornings sounds like it might be the best of both worlds, if you have no other options... at least DS would be able to move forward academically, but still see friends every day. Is the school willing to work with the partial homeschooling idea?
Big hugs,
GG
P.S. Tell your husband I liked his analogy.
