We took one of our children out of public schools last year when he was hitting a brick wall in his classroom. He was so frustrated. His teacher was so frustrated with him. She knew he was capable of doing the work because "his sisters are both gifted." (aint that some logic?) When my husband heard her say that in front of our son, he was so angry. We are homeschooling now. It has been a roller-coaster ride because he is so easily distracted. I could imagine what he was like in a room full of other easily distracted children. What a nightmare! Anywho, recently a FReeper recommended a book for those of us who have ADD children. It's called Right-brained Children in a Left-brained World. It is amazing how a different approach can change a child's entire attitude about learning. Homeschooling is ideal for children such as our son.
