I am wondering where this charter school is? I would think about moving cross

country for a school like that1 Shayden has now been out of school since Sept.08

all from his failed g-tube/nissen nightmare.His twin brother is going into 3

grade next fall and asked me if " Shayden is still in Kindergarden? I did not know

what to say to that?We have been under Home/Hospital school orders since Feb.09

but the school district is just now starting service on7/01/10

Well the beauty of school at home is that reads at third grade level, but

is still in first grade math...there are no defined grades here. As for social

she goes to catechism class once per week, has 3 siblings, friends in the

neighborhood, and park day every Friday from 1-5. She is with children more

socially than she ever was in public school, as most of the children did not

play or talk due to her lack of expression in communication. Also, during class

was not social, only learning. So, even though I had all four in public school

they are now all home and scoring higher on standard tests than before. Do not

let home or charter school become a " block " ...they are wonderful and very

freeing. Just remember your family's personal and special needs and go from

there. Do all research and just keep talking to other moms. I know of a few

families that use a charter school and have a special needs daughter, and it has

been successful for them. Just talk to families that actually utilize

alternative services and programs to see how it works for them and if there any

challenges they face.

I am sorry I am all over this page..my computer is down and I am responding with
