especially for my DS2 10yo who has learning difficulties an distractability score that put him in the lowest 5% of the country. He hates school, doesn't get on well with kids his own age and is thinks he is bullied to such an extent that the teacher now give him jobs that he does at playtime to avoid the situations that arrise. I don't know if I could have the patience to 'teach' him for 6 hours a day, but on another thread it has been mentioned that the actual time teaching is much shorter than at school.
My DH is disabled but is very willing to do the teaching himself and we are in the country and there are carpenters, plumbers etc. galore to help with practical studies, DH does have a Degree, whilst I had 9 'O' Levels so we think we have the intelligence ourselves.
We would like it that he doesn't have to go to Secondary if possible.
P.E would be undertaken by my DD who is a lifeguard and aqua aerobics teacher and already takes him on runs, swimming etc.
