You do have a lot on your plate and good on you for doing this for Oliver. I thought about doing the same for my son but couldn't manage it with Miss Katie. My son has learning disabilities and ADD. He always did poorly in school, didn't learn to read until he was twelve and believed he was stupid. His IQ is 135. There wasn't really much by the way of internet back when he was Oliver's age. He finally dropped out of school but is now working on his business degree and doing well. He still struggles with reading but he enjoys what he's doing. <br /><br />I suspect Oliver will flourish in this new learning environment. I wish I could have done the same for my son. <br /><br />I suspect Oliver will flouMy life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-23762960518080763872013-11-22T12:30:30.672-08:002013-11-22T12:30:30.672-08:00Took a lot of courage to make the move but you'...Took a lot of courage to make the move but you'll make it work--and he'll learn important life skills in the process--way more than any school could give him.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-48103815986942530792013-11-22T12:23:14.552-08:002013-11-22T12:23:14.552-08:00Fan-freaking-tastic!

And oh, Oliver's eyes in this one. <br />Not only have you done the right thing, are doing the right thing for your boy's mental health, I have a strong feeling that his education is going to be a hell of a lot better than what he'd be getting in any sort of more formal situation. <br />Win-win.
