There are no contained classrooms in our district, so Nigel would have been bussed to a different city to be put in a contained classroom at a new school with people he didn't know. I knew that would have been the wrong thing for him for many reasons, so that's why I decided to try homeschooling. It was really tough, but it was definitely worth it.

Congratulations to him on doing so well! And I hope YOU realize what an inspiration you are to so many moms of little boys and girls who are following your footsteps! It seems that every day I'm exploring new paths and possibilities for the future, and your willingness to do whatever is necessary shows that it's possible. Not easy, but possible. And I don't think I'd be coherent if I had to send my kids that far away for that long, so for you to write a (beautifully constructed) post about it? Impressive, and heart-rending.

Look after yourself and recharge your batteries, you deserve it.

That amazes me. I know we all step up where it is needed but WOW. My heart breaks a little bit thinking of the boys being away from you for that long, but it's wonderful that they are given that time with their dad!! You are giving them a gift. What an incredible mom you are! you are super woman for doing the homeschooling. That amazes me. I know we all step up where it is needed but WOW.
