I am interested in your experience - successful or unsuccessful. My 7 year old has dyslexia. His brother is currently being tested for dyslexia and is exhibiting signs of ADD. They are 6 & 7 and currently attend a parochial school. I love their school. It provides the structure, discipline & nuturing environment they need. The boys are happy there and have made many friends. However, since we seem to be headed toward a reading specialist for the second child our monthly education expenses will increase 1/3 - we cannot possible swing this. We have applied for tuition assistance but haven't heard anything yet. If we do not get any tuition assistance, we will probably have to pull the children from their wonderful school. The problem is, our local public school was built in the 70's. The trend around here at that time was for "open" classrooms. I cannot imagine putting LD & ADD 6 & 7 year olds in such an environment. They will be with one teacher learning one thing & 10 feet away another teacher will be teaching something entirely different. I never in my wildest imagination considered homeschooling but it may be our only alternative. I am worried that isolating them will only make it harder for my boys to become productive adults who can function in the work place. (This is not a analysis of home schooling in general but a fear for my LD/ADD sons.)m We have some tough decisions to make & only about 2 weeks in which to decide. So please, any input would be appreciated. (You can PM me if you don't want to make a general post.)
