[quote=Anonymous]1.  Once you are approve for homebound instruction, a teacher should be set and ready within a week.  Teachers are alway looking for extra cash, so I would call the school to find out what is taking so long.

2.  Most homebound teachers are teachers, so they usually are only available in the evenings.  I like to pick teachers from the same school so that the hb teacher can communicate with the student's regular teachers.

3.If your child is in high school and working toward a diploma, that child does have to complete the work necessary for the credit.  Of course, some teachers may let some things slide.  It just depends on the teacher.  Also, certain subjects are limited on homebound such as AP classes.  In order for a student to continue with an AP class, the hb coordinator needs to find an AP teacher willing to teach that subject for hb, or the child will have to drop it.  In many cases, the student will reduce the number of classes so that they can allow ypthe brain to recover wit out all of the added stress of 7 classes.

3.If your child is on homebound, then no, he cannot participate in activities or even have a job.  The reason is that if a child is too sick to come to school, he is too sick to do other activities.  If the hb coordinator finds out the student has a job, the family gets a warning and/or hb ends.

4. I have seen extra time given, students can wear sunglasses in class since the lights tend to bother them.  I have seen students drop extra classes and focus on the 4 core classes. If the student is really trying, most teachers will accommodate within reason.

5.If your child is in an accelerated class, The workload will not be changed.  Students get a bump in g.p.a. For taking these classes.  If your child cannot do the work because he/she is too sick, drop down to academic and take a higher level class another year, once your child's brain has had time to heal.

You seem to want it all.  Advanced classes, reduced workload, extra curricular activities, homebound.  It doesn't work that way.  Let your child heal, and take the advanced classes next year.  This is not a death sentence.  Your child just needs time to get better.
