Today, I went and met with the SENCo (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) at my son's school. I told her how very sad I am for my son and how I feel that he's trampled in a school setting. I said that I had done a lot of researching into home schooling and had found local groups and had even been to meet with one. She seemed very interested in what I'd found out and was surprisingly supportive.
I think I'd assumed she would be defensive and very pro-school, but actually she seemed to really understand my concerns and recognised that taking my son out of school might help to rebuild his self-esteem and get him back on track academically.
And so now it begins. I'm going to teach my son at home.
This blog will chart the highs and lows of our adventures in home schooling and in parenting in general. I'll also post any cool things we learn so you can try them with your children too.
You're very welcome to come along on our journey.
Wish us luck!
