I moved my kids to home schooling in 7th and 8th grade. It was the best option for them at the time.
I remember listening to Foster Cline(Love and Logic) talk once about his daughter. His daughter got the "mean" teacher and many parents wanted him to intervene. However, he didn't because his daughter was in that class. He felt that to rescue her would rob her of a learning experience. There are people in our lives that will make things miserable-bosses we won't get along with, other employees etc.
I think there is much value in his train of thought. Is there anything you can do to help your son find a way to get along better or to better deal with the issues that are making him hate school? If it were me, I'd start there. Home schooling can be great, but it's really hard work and putting kid's back in after they've been out is difficult sometimes as well.
