I'm really thinking about homeschool and some virtual school next year. There are several homeschool groups in town and opportunities for a lot of interesting activities. I can do this, schedule-wise. I think it might be really good for him to have a year where he could be liked by people again and like himself. Everyone loves DS outside of a school environment. This year two of his teachers really like him and have made sure he knows that, but the rest of it has been hard on his feelings of self-worth. He thrives on being "liked" and is funny and sociable. His social language is banter and he's good at it. That is not useful in school settings, though.
