Re: Re: Re: Re: refusing to go to school

Hi Sharon

My son did this when he was in his first year of school. He always hated going in and we had some major battles to get him to stay. He came home one day and announced he was going to try homeschooling. I agreed. Next day I worked that child so hard that he was only too delighted to go to school the following day! I used internet sites to print off Maths problems, printed word searches and simple crossword puzzles. I covered every subject that day. I told him I didn't want the Dept of Education thinking we couldn't do it right. Cruel I know, but I couldn't afford for him to be staying off on a regular basis.
Hope things work out
