When I picked him up each afternoon, he was focused on "how many troubles" he had gotten into - not what he learned or enjoyed throughout the day. We pulled him from school right after Thanksgiving break 2022. He was scheduled to go back, and he started crying saying he hated it and was so bored and didn't want to go. My mama heart knew it was the right choice at that moment, and I sent the email to withdraw him. It was most definitely the right decision. He still has some behavioral troubles, but they are nothing like they were while he was enrolled in public school.

Initially, we tried a curriculum where I had to print things for each day and it was only parent taught. This was a struggle for us, as we also have Zoelle (2) at home. We then went with Power Homeschool, and it's been the absolute best choice! It's a great mix of us teaching him and then actual teachers from Acellus Academy teaching him via video, practice work, in app quizzes and exams, etc all online. We love it! I can also supplement with things I want to teach him, different unique printables, field trips, and whatever else we want to do!
