Hi ,

I have been quiet on the list lately but reading your story with interest as

we deal with similar issues for my sons.

It sounds like you may need to consult the Home School Legal Defense

Association. This is one of the USA links I found on google:

We have recently made the decision to withdraw both of our children from

school due numerous problems, lack of under standing, physical

accomodations, bullying, lack of continuity due to medical absences... the

list could go on for ages. After 4.5 years of try to partner, educate and

advocate at the school, school board level and the ministry of education (I

am in Ontario) I have decided to stop banging my head against the wall

fighting the things I can not change.

I have such a sense of peace now as we settle into homeschooling. The boys

are happier and less stressed. Both are acomplishing more than they had in

school.

Taking care of yourself and your family comes before the need to satisfy

bureacrats who do understand the situation.

Take care,

C.
