Ok...now what?
The saga continues...
V made the decision to return to public school at the beginning of the 9 weeks. His grades are now very poor. He skipped school a couple of weeks ago and got put into juvenile detention. Now, he has an ankle bracelet. Well, about a week ago, I spoke to V about going back to home school and focusing on the GED. I had mixed feelings, as I am enjoying my free time from 830AM to 330PM every day! But, I made the offer thinking what is best for V. I also did not expect him to agree to return to home school. I left the choice to him, as he has to want something for himself to be successful. Tonight, V came to me and said he has decided to return to home school.  Now I have to put my money and time where my mouth is! Hmmm...what was I thinking?

You were thinking "how can I help my child succeed?"
You big softie! I wish you great luck in this homeschooling. At one point I really wanted to do this with my son. But I really thought better of the idea. He really needs the socialization and I don't have the patience for him. We went to the local butcher shop tonight for our lunch meat. 6 LBs for $22 how can you go wrong? He never stopped talking the entire time. When I was paying, she politely asked me if I needed anything else? THen she asked if my son would be riding home in the trunck!

ROFL First lesson of parenting, Indy, is never give a consequence or offer an alternative option that you can't live with!
 So...should be interesting having so much one-on-one with V.  Keep us posted on how you're surviving. I'm still chortling to myself. This is great.

Can you put him in an online course instead of 'Dad's Course'?

Wow, Indy! You are a better person than I. I often thought of homeschooling my kids...thank goodness that thought doesn't last long!!!
 I *know* your son will do great with you as a teacher! Good luck!
