The Big "Where Should She Go to School" Decision, Again
Once again, we are not sure where Caroline should go to school next year. The big public high school hasn't been that great, even with a well-followed IEP. She is begging me to home school her, but I don't know that I want to. The other options are the online high school for this district, an alternative school around the corner, or a private, smaller school, likely Christian. Just praying for direction and wisdom. This is one of the hardest parts of raising a bp kid, the whole educational aspect. Nothing seems to be a perfect fit, and sometimes not even a good fit. I want to do what is best for her academically and socially, but I want it to be best for me too.

I hear ya, I don’t know that I would ever be able to homeschool my son, I think it would damage our relationship in the long run.
I can so relate to this. Every year I think there has got to be a better fit than the local public school - but the ones that I think would be a better fit are way out of our reach, financially speaking. My kiddo would definitely do better homeschooling - if he had someone other than me doing the schooling! Good luck - praying for you!
Praying for you, for peace and that God will open up doors as He is ready. You are so right about the school thing being so hard!
My daughter turned 10 on Wednesday and was diagnosed on Friday. Not a surprise, has been a long time coming:(
We are in a similar situation regarding school. She is in a private school right now, but they are very rigid and do not understand our situation.
I think we are going to school at home- different than homeschool- in that she will do her work online w a real teacher.
At least that is what I think today- could all change tomorrow!!
But I am relieved that she only has 8 days of school left! So glad I found this site!!!!!!!

My grandson is attending a VERY small Lutheran school. There are only 11 kids in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades combined.
Not much religion in any of our families, but this tiny school seems to be giving some peace and sense of community, so we're all for it.
High school will be a 45 minute commute each way, but it will be the same kids, same setting, just a different city. We will have to arrange some group car porting but otherwise I think it will work well for him.
He went through 6 schools before the 5th grade. Nobody could handle him and he hated everyone. He's been hospitalized twice but seems pretty stable right now. He just turned 13 though, so his height and weight are going to be affecting his meds soon.
