Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi , my son (10) is on homebound currently. That is great that you son had been able to work on his OCD but sorry to hear about the lingering problems. I'm wondering what you mean by half days and cyber school, is this something through the public school or is it homeschooling? Can you combine the two somehow? nancy grace In , " rockydazzler1 " wrote: > > Hi. I haven't posted in a long time. My son is still doing much > better with the medication he started last summer.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi . By half days I mean 2 classes a day. Cyber school is done at home but they are in touch with teachers through the net. He's accually planning to do one main core subject/semester at home and one option class/semster at the school. We're hoping that will keep the pace slow enough for him and keep him in touch with his friends. It will take at least 5 yrs. to get a diploma though. I don't really know much about home schooling or cyber school but the regular school system just isn't working for him. He's smart enough but he's so busy trying to deal with anxiety at school that it's almost a waste of time being there. I don't know what else to do.
