[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not do this. Your kids are going to go through phases of hating school or “just wanting to stay home.” If you pull him for the last 3 months, be prepared for him to think you’ll do that every year. Or eventually ask you to homeschool forever. Whatever issue is making him miserable, work with him to address it or use coping mechanisms. School isn’t an in/out thing. You’re all in or you’re all out. He will not get a fresh start in middle this way, he will have a much harder time readjusting after 6 months. [/quote]

Agree with this, mostly. Especially if he will go to the same middle school most of these kids will also be attending. But you know your son best.  If he just cannot cope and every day is torture, I’d pull him out. I dont think pulling him out will necessarily resign you to homeschooling until graduation, or creat more problems.  You just don’t know.  But ultimately you have to parent the child and situation that is going on NOW and if you feel like doing that is best, just do it. Work on the ADHD behaviors- yes they can be annoying to everyone and may be part of the problem.  [/quote]
