is home schooling better for aspergers 11yr old

hi Crystal47

i havnt been on here for some time but have just read this post and feel like i should say something. My Kids Started off in mainstream school and had to be removed due to a complete lack of knowledge and undertanding by staff at their school about ASC.

They were home educated for 5 years and did very well before returning to school the thought being that schools were now better at understanding ASC and it would benefit them socially ...OH How wrong i was, i recently spoke with a teacher who didnt wasnt able to tell me what asc was. my children are having a god awfull time, i spend most of my time in meeting after meeting defending my kids, repeating things over and over to teachers that quite frankly treat the meetings as a game of one upmanship to exhert their authority, being made to feel like every difficulty they have is down to my bad parenting. In the case of my oldest daughter even Asking teachers to avoid provoking a negative reaction by doing things like calling her an idiot and shouting in her face. i have cought out one particular teacher on more than one occasion telling lies.

My oldest daughter is in a mainstream secondary school she went into school a happy girl who had good grades, she now has massive issues with self image and is depressed and her grades have fallen. she is bullied and some of that is looking increasingly like it is by the teachers themselves, i have of course repeatedly made complaints that fall on deaf ears as the school will not aknowledge this as they then aknowledge they have a bullying problem. The school refuses to acknowledge that she  is having difficulties there because at the end of the day it costs them money. If you ask me schools dont really give a damn about all the kids just the numbers that make them look good, they do as little as possible and go to great lengths to make sure they dont spend their money helping those who would probably excel if they did in fact recieve the right support...

My youngest daughter is in a special school not brilliant either in fairness no where near as bad as my oldest daughters but still teachers shouting at children with complex needs to me is a big no no. She is now refusing to attend school 

This is of course all extremley stressfull for the entire family and impacts on every one of us

It is looking increasingly like they are now going to be removed from school again as i feel cruel sending them and they quite frankly were happier and did better at home.

of course not all schools are like this, im yet to come across one though. Choose very carefully if you are going to send him and speak to other parents with children in that school who also have  ASC to see if and how hard it has been for them.
