I'll tell you a horror story about our education system ~ because honestly, if your kid did nothing but read while he's out of regular school he would still be ahead in all likelyhood. A mum pulled her daughter out for 6 months. If I remember it was over bullying the school hadn't sorted. She did nothing with her kid for 6 months but read to her. The kid was nearly 12 months ahead when she returned to her classroom. All the math you need can be learned in about 3 months [assuming you're not a mathamatical moron like I am] so take some of the stress off yourself & don't fret about the schooling. Truly. There's nothing that can't be caught up on. A good news story; my youngest refused to do any math her last 2 years of high school ~ so no Alegbra, no trig., no calulus. She applied for the navy & in order to do the entrance exam taught herself Algebra in 3 hours. She says she's a little slow but her results were high enough to train as a pilot if she wanted. You've got enough going on. Don't fret the school thing. :hugs
His teacher has been VERY supportive; she said he only has to do half a day and she gave him a time-table of things to do in that half-day. I really like her, I wish she had been my 5th grade teacher! My teacher was a cow who hated my guts (and the feeling was very much mutual).
 
Here are a couple of photos of our kitchen renos, done in August 2014 (almost seven years to the day!)

:( That's for getting a cow of a teacher. :hugs Some people shouldn't be allowed around kids.
 
Wow! That is an amazing difference! I'm not a food or gadget person so I refused to do overhead cupboards that I can't reach & only accumulate unwanted junk. It means I have to keep everything to a minimum.
Hubby and I are both tall, so we can reach. It's really nice having extra storage!
 
Online learning sucks. I (being in high school) have to stare at screens all day, 5days a week. It’s annoying and painful and it hurts my eyes to no end!
On a lighter note:
Back burning before summer! This is the view from my balcony at the moment :

I thought you were doing home ec & you must do English. Science too should include some hands on experiments? Surely those 3 alone give you a screen break? I'm sorry it's so sucky. I homeschooled several for high school & can't wrap my head around it all being screen time. It must be terribly boring.

Back burning hasn't started up here yet but I imagine it won't be long.
