Maybe you are someone I've really been looking for. I really feel in my heart that putting her back in school isn't going to solve all that much. I am getting a lot of pressure from the school because they see this as the solution. She doesn't have any friends now and didn't really do well with the other kids all these years, in two different schools. the problem is that I am really struggling at home with her homeschooling. Every day is a struggle, she doesn't want to do her work, whatever format it is and I have to fight about it most of the time. She will dilly for hours to get her work done. My husband has a real problem with this and sees her as not getting anything done. I know she is getting things done but she just has no time organization and I have to oversee every minute. She is the oldest of five with only my four year old being gone for mornings Monday thru Friday. I looked to the school for speech therapy to help with pragmatics and social skills, as well as suggestions for kids with similar problems. I have grave concerns about sending a nine year old girl to the middle school next year. Thanks for letting me vent. Is there a teaching style or curriculum that has really worked for you?
