I really feel for you Belle. Your experience's parallel our entire year of K last year. So glad we are home schooling - but I know it will be tough is DS6 wants to be in a classroom and public is the only option. I wouldn't hesitate to pull away at this point. Don't you have organized homeschool groups with even their own classroom settings in your area? I think we have at least one in our State. Just because you home school doesn't mean you always have to be alone. As for the IEP's - is it any surprise that along with all the changes in government right now - and curriculum ...- and reading lists ...that there's just more confusion ........
