To make a long story short, we have embarked on homeschooling Caroline again until we feel she can handle the private school thing again. With the Learning RX brain training in full force, we hope that she can return in the third quarter. She is quite anxious to return (as are we) and isn't at all happy about not being in a school, but this is best right now. I made up her daily school schedule using mostly the books from the private school, supplemented with Rosetta Stone French, my own Bible curriculum, an online typing course, and Homer. Yes, Homer. She loves all things Greek and Roman, so I thought I would throw that in. I am starting slow this week, and then really increasing the load over the next few weeks. She will likely need to double up lessons in Algebra and French so she doesn't fall behind. I hate their Algebra textbook with all of that superfluous info so I will likely go back to Saxon or Teaching Textbooks.
I feel good about the plan, but it is the implementation of it that makes me nervous. She promises she will work hard for me, and maybe with the carrot of re-entering this school in front of her, she will make good on them.
No job yet. Caroline is really stressed out about this, as she revealed in her counseling appointment today. I am sure all of the kids think about it all the time even if they don't talk about it. I keep praying that God will bring an end to this very long journey. His timing often isn't our timing. At all. "Come thou long expected Jesus" is what this brings to mind.
