Education.... One Size Does NOT Fit All!!! When the Promise of a "Free and Appropriate" Education is Just A Crock of Crap

Good Morning my fellow early risers! Today begins a new and exciting adventure in our Rainbow Rider's world! Today we will begin homeschooling our little man! This is a decision we have struggled with for quite some time. After repeatedly being lied to about our son's progress, after the school bus bullying incident, after finding out the kids in the class are told to "ignore" him when he asks for help, after being told to bring an iPod in for him to listen to when he is "distracting the rest of the class", and after being pulled from the classroom multiple times to go sit in a room by himself because they don't know how to handle him....... YES, the time has come to bring my boy home and educate him the way HE learns!

I'm not here to bash the public school system. In fact, I believe in the inclusion process to an extent. But after almost 5 years in the public school special education process the bullying, teasing, the just plain recognizing he is different...... it's changed him. He gets anxiety.... BAD anxiety! He's clearly depressed, he's beginning
to not like the beautiful little person he is...

So what is a Mom to do when no one will help her child reach his potential? She puts her big girl panties on, her kick-ass boxing gloves, and SHE takes control of what she KNOWS is right for her child!

We chose an accredited homeschooling curriculum just to make the transition easier - because, hey I'm new to this too and I really don't want to screw this up.


Any advice would be MORE than appreciated!
