Should I home school? My 13 year old son is a really great kid, but he struggles with impulse issues. He was adopted into our family at 10, and is a different race then our family. We live in a small town with VERY limited resources as far as school choices. He is smart, and thus far has resisted peer pressure, and there has been a lot. I want to do what is in his best interest, and I am afraid that homeschooling will not give him socialization skills because we have no support group for homeschoolers in our area. He is being called names and teased unmercifully, and as last school year wore on, he became very depressed. He doesn't know what he wants, and the therapist he sees is on the fence, as we are. Opinions?
There are NO private schools within 200 miles.
