Could it really be?
I have posted about my student who has been challenging at best this year. Parents are not supporting us (they say they are but aren't) and yesterday the straw broke the camel's back and they have finally decided to home school. They were on the fence and providing their child a back door for everything we had tried at school as far as behaviour so we (principal, resource and myself) were going to have a meeting this week to basically say support us or do what you've been threatening to do (which was home schooling).
The rotten part is I still have to deal with him until Christmas. For whatever reason they think that we can deal with him until then.
I am cautiously optimistic. This is not the ideal (which would have been the parents supporting us and working together) but since that wasn't going to happen I'm happy they finally picked a side of the fence.
Re: Could it really be?
Yay! Although I bet they have him back in school for next year... I feel like homeschooling (properly) is a lot more work than people think it is.
You hit the nail on the head with this one! Being a teacher of "behaviour" students, I have seen this happen quite a few times. This can sometimes be when parents begin to realise just how large their children's struggles are, it can be a turning point for them. It is hard for families to admit when their child is struggling and that it is not because of external factors.
