Hi everyone, I am thinking of homeschooling my 6 year old son as of next school year and am looking for any advice. We have given it some serious thought for about the past 2 months and I think I am going to do it but am very nervous that I will somehow fail him. He was transferred from his school right after Christmas and it seems like we have had problems ever since then. He was making good grades and doing well in school at his previous school and it seemed like they were VERY organized in teaching the kids and now its SO stressful because they just send home stacks of papers and I NEVER know what is homework and what is not and another thing that REALLY bothers me is that we get 6 week grade checks and he got a D in Language Arts but Not ONCE have they sent home any graded papers or anything showing his work and WHY he is doing so poorly. I have talked with his teacher several times and nothing seems to change so I feel like this is where I need to step in and change things for him. Another reason we are considering it is that he has just recently become very afraid of certain things that he shouldnt be afraid of such as going to the restroom alone at home or out in public, he crys and crys and says hes scared so I have to take him to the ladies room or go with him at home and it is VERY unlike him. We have talked to him about his fears and he hasnt said anything about it other than being scared. He is a VERY outgoing, social child and is in many activities outside of school so he would still get to interact with other children on a daily basis. Im sorry this is so long but thank you in advance for any insight or advice on this.
