Ryan tested into 9th grade rather than into 8th so him and Chaz will be starting high school together. I got them into a school district but they do their work at home. They have their own teacher so it takes the load off of me a bit. I asked them if they wanted to attend a high school together. The only catch is I would not allow them to go to a regular 4 year high school but one that goes down all the way to Kindergarten. It's a charter school and they'd be with their siblings. They both said no, they'd rather stay home. So it is what it is. :) Four kids at home and four kids in a charter school. The only one that does not want to be there is Kyle. He got bullied on his first day and every day since. Thankfully, they're completely against bullying and once he brought it to their attention they caught the boy and got him to stop. Hopefully he's done bullying my son for good. We'll see. Many times I've always believed that bullying is learned behavior. The sad thing is I'm hoping it's not because the bully is being bullied at home or anywhere else. :( Maybe Kyle and I should pray together for him. He said the kids in the class are extremely disrespectful and swear all the time. Just because he doesn't do those things, it's made Kyle more noticeable. Now they're coming after Kyle because he's different. I told Kyle to stand strong. It's a GREAT thing to be different and it's even more awesome that it's because he's respectful and does his work! :D
