I feel like I have used up every available option. The school is throwing up roadblocks at every opportunity. There are no good private schools in the area. Homeschooling is not an option for various reasons. We supplement at home, but ds7 has, in a span of six months, gone from enjoying school to being so bored that he doesn't even want to go. He loves our at-home lessons, though. I have an idea that I've been tossing around, though. Maybe once or twice during each nine week grading period, I'm thinking about letting him skip a day of school to do educational activities. Math, reading, maybe some science experiments, etc. I think overall, it would be good for his education. But I'm not sure if it would be good for his attitude about school, as I don't want him to get into the habit of thinking that skipping school is not a big deal. Any thoughts on this idea?
