@Thomas,
You're preaching to the choir!
I don't know any kids that were homeschooled for religious reasons but I know several kids that were homeschooled because the parents lost faith in the school's ability to truly educate their child and a handful who pulled their kids out of school because of the hyper-competitive, exclusionary environment of school.
All of the ones I know do very well socially. They aren't quite as inhibited, which some may look at as a bad thing, though.
I did have a consultation with a very good attorney that specializes in education issues a while back. I have someone I can call quickly, if I need to. I really hope it can be resolved without having to go that far.
Mo only has 5 months left at that school before being done with it forever. I'd really like to see him finish up there but I'm willing to pull him out. I'm trying to get him into an alternative school for next year.
