[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 394772, member: 1550"] Jumper would do well in multiple choice tests. She has no ability to map things in her mind so that's out. When I say I know she has LDs, I do know it. The school doesn't know it, but we do. Actually, they DID have her with an IEP for Learning Disability (LD) until the other school she went to for one year discharged her from services. So now she only qualifies for a 504, but that's ok. My daughter will never be ok with homeschooling. Ever. Her strongest point is her great socialization skills. She is a very popular leader in school to the point where if she does talk out of turn and stick up for herself or her friends (which she will do) the teachers are afraid the other kids will copy her. Also, homeschooling here is not only expensive if you get your own curriculum but there are only a limited amount of students who can utilize the public schools online. Hub and I are poor teachers as neither of us went to college...half the work she does is beyond what we ever had. But the main issue is that we did try it, got no school help, and the kids were bored and restless even with the homeschooling group and field trips. The k ids tended to be "different" and Jumper is a very typical teen. She has a ton of compassion for "different" kids because of Sonic and his autistic spectrum disorder. But she doesn't want to hang with kids who don't like malls, rock music, boys, clothes, etc. and the kids in this area's homeschool groups were mainly kids with disabilities whose parents had taken t hem out of school for that reason. Jumper also wants to play sports at school and go to all the social events. It just isn't an option and will never be. She is by far the most social child I ever had and is willing to struggle in school rather than leave it. Even Sonic likes school. In the US, I'll bet homeschooling is a lot different than in Australia. If Jumper was eager to do it, I'd find a way, but she would consider it a big punishment and it could lead to behavior problems. Plus she is strong willed and probably would not cooperate until we put her back in school. So we are stuck with THIS (sigh). As for the work she scored well on, it's very simple...she was able to use her books. No mystery as to what she needs to do well. She forgets fast and needs prompting. It is not her fault and is not helped by extra studying. [/QUOTE]
