Yes. I'm hearing this already from people at the district and a private doctor. The more I poke around, I see that we'd be facing a pretty hefty move to find a campus that is well-suited. But such a move would not be wise for us in this economy. I really don't want him learning all about "tent cities" through immersion.

I know you mentioned homeschooling wouldn't work for your family, are there any other options in your area?
Only a private school with far fewer resources.

One reason I'm wanting to stick it out here is that unlike many of the stories I read about, I believe that the school & district genuinely want to help. The teacher, well, he'll come around in time -- but everyone has been fantastic. And that's one heck of a good starting point.

I know there's a solution in here somewhere... I just gotta turn over some more rocks.
