My son had just started middle school when we realized how much of a problem he was having fitting in with other kids.  As parents we met with the school talked to his teachers, tried to get him involved in extra circular activities to make friends.  It just was not happening; karate class was the only place he was making friends.  We worked with the behavorialist to try to figure out what was going on then progress report time came around and we realized we had a serious problem, our son who had always made A’s and B’s in the past was suddenly making low C’s and D’s.  One of the most disturbing parts of this was the indifference his teachers showed when we expressed our concerns over his performance.  As fall progressed by work got busy I had been working for an income tax office and the fall was prep time and training of new staff.  I think being so busy with work allowed me to not see that thing we not only not improving they were getting worse for our son at school.  January 1^st I went back to work full time 6 days a week.  This was when things really got bad and we realized how much we were not prepared for this.  To begin with we had IEP meeting with the school because they were not doing the things we had asked.  As things began to escalate I started having a headache that would just not let up seems to last for days at a time.  The end of January we found ourselves in the ER with me having a mild stroke, a wakeup call as the doctor called it. 
Who knew at that time that in less than a month I would no longer be working and would pull our son out of school to homeschooled him? 
Thankfully after that first rough start with homeschooling we found a wonderful program that is the best of both worlds.  Our son is in second year with Indiana Connections Academy.  This is a virtual public school truly the best alternative to those who cannot handle the social setting of public school and need more one on one attention to succeed.  If you have thought about having your children receive their education at home then I urge you to check out http://www.connectionsacademy.com/indiana-online-school/home.aspx   I really do not know how we would be able to handle this journey without Connections Academy the flexibility to fit our daily schedule. 
The response from the teachers when we have questions or problems is amazing.  My son just finished up first semester of the school year with all A’s and a boost of confidence like he never had at a brick and mortar school.
