[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what's your other option?  Would you homeschool? Could you get him into a private school somewhere?

I homeschooled my child last year and it was great.[b] I kept my child socially connected with positive friends and activities[/b]. There is a homeschooling page on dcum as well as lots on Facebook like SEA (secular, eclectic, academic). What are your means like? DC is great about homeschooling in one regard - very hands off. However, they don't provide resources- other states do. We used the library a LOT.[/quote]

PP,  [b]no offense[/b], but as someone who has homeschooled nieces and nephews, and other homeschooled kids, it is very difficult to provide any social interactions that really resemble, and teach the lessons, of the day to day, unsupervised socializing that occurs among kids in school.  I hate to say it, I know many homeschooled parents are good parents, they try hard, they teach their kids academically fine..[b].but there is a reason why homeschooled kids are a bunch of weirdos.  You simply cannot learn how to act in society unless you are in society.[/b][/quote]

Yes, PP, your social skills are extraordinary.[/quote]
