Well unfortunately he kind of is missing out on summer vacation. School work during the summer isn't fair no other kids have it. Maybe you should consider following school schedules(start the same time regular school starts, and end the same time too, follow the vacations the public school follows too.)Check the public schools website.I'm 13 and my little brother is 8 and he hates working and he isn't interested... hands on is the way to go for young kids. try buying some science kits and socials studies tapes that are fun to watch. I did this for fun a couple of times and bought this butterfly kit thing where you get the larva in the mail and watch them grow into beautiful butterflys in the box you get in the kit. It's a wonderful experience to let them go in your backyard when they're all grown and watch them fly away into the sky.(By the way I'm sorry but kell and deck is right homeshooling can be bad for socializing and keeping up with the cirriculum. Exercise, art and music can't be taken at home and the child misses a out on an amazing experience. To name one your first bad grade breaking it to you mom is hard but when you finally do it you feel better and you've learned a leason it's hard to do that when your mom grades your tests. And studing all night for the big exam with your friends allnight is kindof hard when your not in school with them. Maybe you should reconsider this distion)GOOD LUCK!!! : )
