??? for homeschooling parents

[Margies3]

I am soooooooo tired of getting the run-around from our local school district regarding Keith. Our doctor said 4 years ago that she wanted him tested for learning disabilities. But no one will do it. They have "procedure they have to follow". Please!! Give me a break!! Enough already! At this point, he is failing almost all of his freshman classes. Last year, at the end of 8th grade, I begged them to hold him back because I did not feel that he was ready to move on to high school. But they wouldn't even hear of it.

So here's where I'm at. I'm ready to pull him out of school and homeschool him. I've heard about homeschooling programs that are done on the computer completely and that have teachers who then grade the child's work after they complete it. I've even heard of a program where they provide a computer just for the homeschooling and that computer cannot be used for any other thing.

Do any of you use something like this? What DO you use? How do you feel about whatever you are using? Is it any good? How expense is it?

As far as expenses go, I just talked to Keith's counselor at school. He has to take at least 3 or 4 of his classes again through the mail. At a cost of $150 EACH! So by the time I pay for that, I might as well pay for the cost of homeschooling him. That's my feeling anyway.

Advice, folks! I need advice, please!!
