[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] +1. I work with parents of special education kids, and this is a very common pattern. Once school refusal gets started it's an usually an intractable problem, that causes a lot of grief down the line. It's one of the more common problems that I see well meaning parents make. Based on that experience, I would never do this. School attendance if you're not sick is a non-negotiable in my house.[/quote]
