ds2 is 14 and in year 10 at school . he was diagnosed with AS last year . His main problem at school seems to be motivation , he just doesnt seem to want to learn. I am having lots of problems with the school and he often just refuses to go anyway.
at home he has limited interests and seems to want to watch youtube videos and fishing videos ( main hobby) all day long .
i am getting desperate and cant face the idea of the stress of school for another 2 years .
i am pretty sure that if i tried to HE in a way that was similar to school i would never get him to do it and he would then be stressed at home . As it stands he will probably leave school with few if any GCSEs
my question is what really counts as education ? i mean , ds2 dad works as a hgv driver and ds sometimes likes to go with him . he can already drive the forklift truck and load the wagon for him . does this count ? could he do that one day a week as erm...i dont know...geography or am i kidding myself ?
i really need a solution to the awful situation we are in at the moment
