I dislike how the school 'punishes' him in the guise of discipline and logical consequence but I don't know what to do about it, save take him out.
I've researched a couple different schools, but the one I want him in is full and he would be 14 on the waiting list. I'll complete the application process anyway, but ...
My daughter wants to be home schooled. I love this option, especially when I remember school shootings and teachers that are burnt-out on their once-loved profession. I am in awe of parents that do it and I truly want to be those moms. But, realistically I don't think I have the right temperment for it. I think we'd kill each other.
I've been a stay at home mom for seven years and I REALLY feel done with it. The reason I know that, is because this is the first time since I've become a mom that both my children are in school full time and I'm SO enjoying it. I get to have some separation from them and I'm still there to pick them up from school and take them to gymnastics, TaeKwonDo or choir practice. I can still connect with them in the afternoon and I truly feel blessed when I consider that I don't have to work and am able to stay home with them, when so many other parents want to and can't.
I also know that home schooling wouldn't maybe be the best avenue for us because, ever since Robert (then Joey, a name I still secretly call him) was two months old, I've had someone to watch him and Aubrey while I: took a class, did homework, got a pedicure, or simply went grocery shopping without the children. I've ALWAYS had the kids go to some kind of childcare once or twice a week just so I could get a breather.
I don't think I could do that if I homeschooled.
But I love the idea.
