Those that know school has been a big struggle for my oldest Dillon due to his Autism. The school that he was in up in Apple Valley allowed him to become very lazy with his academics. He would go to school ans sit ans do hidden picture books or maze books instead of school work. So, then when it came time for him to do homework it was BEYOND a chore for me. Also he would bring home art projects that he himself did not even complete. It got to a point where he would cry to have to go to school. He became a very unhappy kid. This made Jake and I unhappy parents. We made the decision to home school him. I then had about a four month fight in order to pull him out of that school and get him into the home school program. Once I started home schooling him I had a lot of habits to break that they let happen. I started to see a change in him though. Dillon started smiling again and became that happy boy that we once knew.
Now we are on Dillon's first week of second grade and I am home schooling him again. We feel that it is the BEST choice. He needs to get to a place where he is comfortable going back and can go there safely. My goal for him is third grade to get him back into a public school in a SDC class. I want to see him succeed, be happy and have some friends.
