Ater the accident at school last week David has been pushing for me to resume Homeschooling Charlie. I don’t mind doing. I wouldn’t mind doing, but Charlie is in 4th grade. I am not sure I would know how to teach him all the things he needs to learn. Because before I understand it, Charlie will be heading to middle school. As Charlie only has one more year in Elementary school. Although, we would have plenty of time to prepare Charlie. Heck, we might even be able to get him ahead of his classmates if I worked with Charlie one on one.
Although last time I was the one who wanted to take Charlie out of school and to homeschool Charlie. This time I just am not sure what I want to do. So I am asking everyone to please pray for us. Our family is working together to come to the best conclusion for Charlie. Or at least I hope it is the best decision for Charlie.
Since I want to be prepared, I plan on contacting both K12 and Texas Connections tomorrow to see if they can get Charlie into there school this year. This way if we do remove Charlie I will know what options we have and if they can or can’t help us. Because if they have a spot, then it is a no, brainer that we remove Charlie from Major Cheney as soon as possible.
If not I would have to work with Charlie on my own and from all the advice and support I have received online I think I could do it on my own. Especially with there being a Homeschool Co-Op right around the corner. I would like to ask if you would pray for Charlie as I wait for Charlie to gets better. As well as for David and I as we work had to make the best choice for Charlie.
As well as our family if we do decide to remove Charlie from school as his grandmother is distraught with me at the moment. As she thinks it is me that is fighting to remove Chalie from college. When time it isn’t it is Davids idea. I know she doesn’t want us to as she is worried that we will be hindering Charlie more than helping him.
I am sure you’re wondering what Charlie would like to do. Charlie doesn’t know for sure as he doesn’t want to return to school if they are going to bully him. Charlie doesn’t want to leave school as Charlie would miss his friends he says. Although Charlie likes the idea of being taught at home as Charlie can study things interested in and not, have to consider things the teacher tells Charlie to examine that isn’t interesting. Charlie says he can explore at his own pace and not feel like he is being pushed and not learning the way he needs to.
As a mom I am torn and afraid I will make the wrong choice and not help my son the way I need to.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David Cates
