We are contemplating homeschooling our son.

“Should we homeschool our son?”

We are inviting you to share our experience of the hardships and concerns we face being a family of an autistic ADHD child and our journey into what seems like the inevitable homeschooling for our beautiful son Chris.

BACKGROUND:

We’ve been through three school systems and our son Chris has been hurt.

This past year was the worst… he’s been exhibiting signs of depression and PTSD from the classroom. He’s chosen to stick it out because he doesn’t want to lose his friends. We have honored his wish.

Now the school is threatening to hold him back over a test score. Chris stands to lose his friends. Our trust has been broken.. if he loses his friends, (or stands a chance to in the future), should we homeschool?

The answer seems to be that we are going to do a trial run over the summer and make a final decision in September.

Will this be “the best thing ever for Chris?” or maybe we want to continue the path we are on now. I don’t know but Julia wanted to share our journey with you and so we shall.

Thank you for watching.

Update: I was mistaken… He didn’t have a certified math teacher for MOST of the year, not the whole year. The replacement teacher was indeed properly certified since 2021. I don’t know if the website was down when I checked or if I was just straight up MISTAKEN but either way I needed to rectify this but too late to change the video. Sorry.
