[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

My son is in a public charter school in DC. The school is pretty good overall, but they don't seem to have much experience or knowledge of how to work with dyslexic kids. That said, I think they are trying hard to work with him. It's mostly that the overall environment is so full of strong readers that he feels stupid. And that their instructional methods exacerbate this by not being appropriate to the way that he can learn to read. It's frustrating.

I would love to homeschool for a year and I see how this could be much more productive. But I just don't see how we could afford it though. We need both my husband and my's income -- both of us work full time. And my income is 70% of the total. DH makes less so it would be easier to do without his income....but he could not be the homeschool lead because he is dyslexic and I think it would be hard for him to teach another person to read. (If only because he would need to read a lot in order to understand the instructional method). Is there any way to homeschool when both parents work out of the home full time?

The other problem is that I am afraid I might drive my poor dyslexic child nuts if the only thing that I did with my time was to homeschool him. He is my only child. [/quote]
