That does give me a better picture of Kitty and school. I KNOW that it is oh SO easy for me to sit here and give my input/thoughts when I am not the one involved. I KNOW that this issue is not black and white and that YOU know the dynamics of your children the best. I'm just trying to help you to think of what might be options for Kitty.<br />What about charter schools now? You mentioned that you looked at them before. The charter school that my daughters attend has a very low student/teacher ratio. They don't offer a lot of special services but the lower ratio can help with a ton, I think.<br />Can Kitty distinguish between school and social times or is that one in the same for her? In other words, could she do homeschool/online school with a set schedule and have PLANNED social times (by planned I mean something regular, not "let's get together with XX friend today) and "get" it? So, schooling is daily from 9-11 a.m. and then we meet with the XX group at 1 p.m. for music/art lessons. This wouldn't necessarily give you any respite time BUT if Kitty was more regulated more often, perhaps your need for respite would be taken care of at other times, like with the Saturdays with Grandma. <br />Again, I don't know if any of this is "workable" for you and your family. Just trying to help you think, from an outsider looking in.Mommy's Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004412794113332556noreply@blogger.com
