I just have to comment here. I respect every parent's right to choose an appropriate educational situation for their child. But it irks me to hear institutional school referred to as "the real world". How is it "real" to be in a room of 28 other kids exactly your age for six or seven hours a day? Both are valid educational options, and neither one is more or less "real" than the other.
Maybe you want your child to learn to deal with bullying, conflict, yada yada, but please choose your words more carefully.
