Haaving a child with Aspergers I feel like I am constantly fighting for him at school and its a fantastic school that will pretty much give me what I want but its still hard. No one else will advocate for your kids. Hope you are able to make some decisions that you feel good about.

You pick the direction and if it is a direction that needs some help then Heavenly Father will step in and help. For school I am Home Schooling my oldest son this year. He is the only one. But next year he will be back in our neighborhood school. You can call me and I will talk to you about it.Jeanine & Christian Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10891689751712633821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757404445989366445.post-69098779049044873482011-05-02T13:32:22.641-06:002011-05-02T13:32:22.641-06:00Being an adult is WAY harder than expected.

We would LOVE having you guys closer. You will know what is right for your family. Maybe it's something different all together......good luck!The Holt'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798202645668411175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757404445989366445.post-19331294603618744252011-05-02T12:31:02.870-06:002011-05-02T12:31:02.870-06:00Yes, being an adult is very hard some days!!

We will see what happens with my kids in West Side this next school year. It was a hard decision, but hopefully, it will be the right one for them and me. Keep on praying!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907115868202977895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757404445989366445.post-29314569135495636632011-04-30T09:16:37.145-06:002011-04-30T09:16:37.145-06:00I agree too, we don't want you to move.

The school thing is hard, (we have had too many tears this year) but we all keep trying and hopefully we each find the answers we are looking for that will be the best for our family. Hang in there we love you guys!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623494207985352217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757404445989366445.post-81802023629766288972011-04-30T07:10:21.265-06:002011-04-30T07:10:21.265-06:00I agree - I don't want you guys to move either...I agree - I don't want you guys to move either! Those are all hard decisions and it can be so frustrating when the answers aren't coming NOW! <br /><br />As for school, I am looking into connectionsacademy.com It is an online public/charter school. They send you a free computer, text books etc etc. The kids have a teacher assigned to them and have to take all the state standard tests - they just do their assignments at home. I would be their "learning coach", and just make sure they do their assignments. They can move at their own pace and set their own schedule - they just have to get the assignments done each day. I don't know if I could do it or not with a 3 year old and brand new baby, but Maggie won't quit bugging me about it! We are going to an information session about it on June 1st in Pocatello. I will see how I feel after that! I also know that some people will be upset with me if I pull my kids out of school and even though it shouldn't, that bothers me!<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm sure that didn't help your situation one bit, but that is what we are considering when it come to the issue of school!<br /><br />Hope the answers come soon for you and I know that whatever you decide - it will be the right thing for your kids and your family!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820967801719875046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757404445989366445.post-77776190853178874122011-04-29T23:16:20.066-06:002011-04-29T23:16:20.066-06:00Oh Mindy!

I agree - being an adult sucks. And yet, that's all Kirk wants these days - to be an adult!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079868269171672843noreply@blogger.com
