Those who oppose home schooling say that the purpose for public school is to give the child the ability to socialize. A child is placed in a classroom full of rules and told not to talk.This thought just bothered me today because Kyle has been struggling with a problem of bringing home "red cards" almost daily. He is learning. He comes home and does his homework with no argument. Yet he just has a problem with not talking while trying to sit perfectly still in the classroom. He's already sitting in the very front row.
So what do you think is the real issue here? What do you think is more important in this situation? And how do you think this should be handled? Any thoughts?

:( Oh, my heart just aches for Kyle. I hate how the schools try to put all kids in a box and if they don't fit that box perfectly, then they demean them and discourage them. I wish I had some answers!!! Even today, my ten-year-old who is so much like Kyle needs to move around a lot during our school time. I let him stand if he wants to or go lie down on the floor if he wants to. I don't care HOW he does his math as long as he does it and is learning.
ugh! Makes me want to go talk to his teacher myself and find out just EXACTLY what do they expect out of a seven-year-old little BOY.
I'm praying!!!
