[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP who is homeschooling because of her DD's illness. This is curiosity and you may not wish to answer but I am curious as to what illness makes homeschooling a necessity but she can work long days at the mall and play on sports teams?[/quote]

She has an autoimmune disease. It is a period of flares and remissions. She does not work long days at the mall, she works 3-4 hours two days a week (right now anyway, but how often she can work varies). Her employer is aware of her illness and that she could go into a flare and miss work and they understand her need for potential accommodations and understanding.  Her sports teams have always been very supportive of her sometimes missing practices or games. In fact, some of the biggest supports she has are teammates and coaches.

The nature of chronic illnesses is that they have periods of the child being well and then periods of being very sick. In my daughters case the flares are very unpredictable in both frequency and duration.

Oh okay, you had posted this [i]"involves her picking up a part time job at the mall, where she has to interact all day with adults of every age all day long, her boss, her manager, etc. She also interns one full day per week at a nonprofit that works on helping on the issue of land mines in 3rd world countries"[/i] so it sounded like she was working all day and also doing an all day internship thing. I just wasn't sure how she could be all day at a job but not school. [/quote]
