I don’t think it’s easy to homeschool a high schooler, especially for someone who has not done it before.
On the other hand my son is still having headaches with several activities as he tries to study. As long as there are symptoms, I think his healing is still ongoing and pushing him back to school or school work would mean kindling the brain injury again and again.
This being an invisible injury, his suffering is trivialized greatly by all parties involved. The school is unsupportive, and the doctors are irresponsible…they do not want to help him ease back into school and life. No two concussions are the same and yet the doctors use a standard protocol to bucket him into and wash their hands off.
The whole system of public education is dangerous to entrust our kids to, they can lose their life in school and yet parents have no rights, the public schools have government immunities to save themselves form any law suit. No lawyer will even take up the case! The lack of ethics in the medical system is whole another pandora’s box. If anyone is reading my post this far, then please take away this one thing…please request for your medical records immediately following your medical appointment and check every word recorded there. You’d be appalled at what you find! Once you catch the errors, it is another battle to get it corrected, which they have the authority to refuse to change and will only add an addeddum at the end of the medical record., which none of the doctors credit you with. Your medical records will hurt you forever! It is battle after battle after battle with school staff and administrators, to doctors and hospitals…none of them have ethics! And remember, you have to keep your job, afford the medical care, make time to take your child to the many appointments and take care of your child and keep your sanity and health! NIGHTMARE!
I have decided to keep him out of school as long as possible at any cost…I don’t care about college anymore! As long as we have politics at play, humanity as a whole will never achieve anything, be it in Ivy league colleges or no colleges!
