oh, sorry, i just read it, probably should have lol!! mine has the same "homeschooling on the Pc initiative" issue. and you work. and you'd be liable. not a good combo. i do alot of the bribing. and grounding. i find taking away his most favorite things are the ONLY way and you must be clear, firm, and follow through. tell him one day good at school, one day fine at home. when mine is awful, he's simply just lost PC. it drives us ALL crazy cuz he can act like a toddler which makes everyone wanna jump off the roof but follow through. sometimes if it's a LONG stint i will let him EARN some back by doing chores he won't normally do. that helps too. again, good luck... try everything. i'm probably doing it all wrong but that's why i'm here, eh? :)

A couple of years ago my daughter had seizures which led to some other health issues. We were able to get the school system to send a teacher to our house for 2 hours a day for 6 months.

well, i never stay up til 1:25 am, hardly EVER, but since i'm up i will answer this quickly. i didn't even read it all. but let's just say, been there, done that. my boy is all over the map. i have literally moved to different states due to schools. he's been shuffled, i've been shuffled (also due to divorce, etc)... and the answer is.. if the schools cannot provide what is necessary, which they are legally responsible for up to a point, then in the end you can homeschool, or even have him in a very high lockdown facility. mine has been in many types and some schools didn't last a day. i know IEP meetings so well i just hate goin. sometimes you just have to let go and let it happen.... mine had a school let him GO (off the property) (his dad didn't give him his meds, oy!) and he got arrested @ 12 (! gack! seriously) for saying he would blow up the place (which California wouldn't blink an eye at - they knew his disorders inside and out but in Texas he was a terrorist suddenly - whatever).... it's a horrible reality that you will lose control and he will land wherever he will.... all you can do is try to get the meds regulated, be as involved as they will let you (yes, i've sat in the classes... lol...), and just try to reach him and impress how important it is he not get "in trouble", and keep an organized PAPER TRAIL!!!! i am very disorganized and it doesn't help when you go "well, five years ago in... uh... he had... uh...." --- lol.

i hate to say this and i'm sure i'll get hate for this but if you stay on the coasts you'll more likely get a school that is educated enough in their schools... avoid Tx & Ut like the plague. i'm not kidding. i won't detail any more cuz i don't want to start a huge debate but let's just say i myself went to school in both and my kids didn't benefit at ALL in either state, disorders or not. but that's just my opinion in the end.

best of luck to you!!!

My son is home schooled and was cyber schooled as well. He is not a motivated student-although he is bright. I suggest cyber school because the great thing about learning online is you dont have a time period in which to do it. He can do his work in the evening when you get home so you can supervise that it is getting done. Good luck!

I have the same kind of issue with my 14 yr old son... he says he's sick.. and plays it to the hilt.. I make him go.. then he calls and asks to come home... I work too but I drive him to school in the morning. he thinks the same thing.. why does he need to learn the stuff is he isn't going to use it... does you son play on computer games... or x box? I have taken the computer right out of the house to get my sons attention.... he screams... thinks he can bullying me to get it back... then when he knows he's lost.. he comes and says he's sorry... I have even unplugged the internet. lol....
