Yes, DD9 currently attends PS for ELA and homeschools all her other subjects. They added four hours to her schedule this year for ELA. I get the impression that the teacher just isn't organized in putting ELA into a block of time. So my DD ends up sitting a lot while they complete other subjects. She is now doing higher level work at home and I need that time. Otherwise she comes home and after lunch starts her day at 1pm, with us needing to address all her other subjects yet! On top of that the social worker has assured me that the teacher isn't as good of a match but that there isn't anything they can do about that. I wanted my DD to be in school to address the social skills associated with her asperger's. But, with this ELA thing and the fact that they are cutting her speech to one day a week because of demand/budget I am seriously rethinking. She doesn't have any friends in school or any like peers. The past teachers have said that they don't have another student at her level.
I have always been concerned because I am not strong in ELA in the sense that I don't follow the rules.
I wrote the paper, first draft being final draft and worked backwards. I did find that the SL core 6 we are using for history has an LA, although not very vigorous and they have an agreement with
http://www.writeathome.com So that would be an option. We already do the literature and reader portions that would coincide. I could look at putting her into their middle school literature classes next year since her writing is just at fifth grade level right now and their classes are full this year. I don't have a problem with the other aspects of ELA.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
