I am just in a funk about all the struggles she faces. Day in and Day out. Friday, as if it wasn't enough that we were still dealing with H3's sudafed incident, H1 had another fall, right on her head. UGH!
I am convinced this plays a role in some of her struggles.
On a great note - SHE is LOVING the morning school she is in right now, but I have NO idea how it is coming along, I will get a progress report on Friday. They are working on the l blends, and I KNOW she knows that - but they are reviewing. I know the review is exactly what she needs, but I am so hoping that at the end of the four weeks I will see a miraculous difference. Will I? Probably not, but it doesn't stop me from hoping.
I have to say - having her in an intense school for just three hours makes me revisit the whole concept of homeschooling. I cannot tell you how often it has run through my mind.
If she wasn't so darn happy with her French school.... I know in my heart I cannot pull her out. She faces so many struggles, I have to let her have her successes and speaking in French is one of her successes. I can in no way replicate an immersion environment at home. BUT I have to say, if I needed to pull her, I would. She wants to be there and loves it, I need to let her LOVE to learn and be excited. But wow - the thought of "schooling" for just that short length of time and let the rest come naturally.... ahhh.... she loves doing science at home. We devour the magic school bus books (which seem to provide just enough silly fun, yet get the basic points across) (We were walking by the river and they can correctly identify the types of rock, stuff like that. They love the science try-its. it is just something I would enjoy.

I'm at the same point with MM. There's a "Choice" school in the next town that does a split. Two days in the class, three days at home. But MM really loves where he's at and I really have no excuse at the moment to pull him. But it's nice to know it's there. This program is 4th - 12th grade, so I may keep MM where he's at till it's time to go to middle school and make the switch then. middle school is set up like "high school lite" and I do not want him to get lost in the crowd or class shuffle. "Choice" will be a smaller class on class days.
