I am a mom of five children. My oldest son is currently in a Christian High School. He attended a Christian Grade School, as has trouble in school since 5th grade. His grades went from B's to C's to D's to now being on academic probation. He is tutoring, the school is working with him, and we are trying our best to be helpful parents, but seem to be getting nowhere. He was diagnosed with ADD, however, each time we attempted medications, he became so lethargic and unhappy, we do not currently have him on any. There is a lot more to that part of the story. Where my concern lies, is we are possibly facing the fact that he cannot continue his education at the school he attends. and we unfortunately live in a school district which we do not care for the public school. Ideally, I would like to find a homeschooling program to do with him. He is currently in 10th grade, but because of his failing grades there are a lot of courses he needs to retake. I would like to spend next school year working with him at home so that hopefully he can catch up AND be able to re-enter as a senior in the 2008-2009 school year. I need advise....is this something that can be done this late in his schooling, and what programs are best for a child like this. I REALLY need some advise from someone who is or has homeschooled a highschooler and/or has a child with ADD (there are no signs of the HD part of the illness). Help!!!!!!!!!!!
