Oh you really got to me there, how horrible for your poor child. It sounds like your doing the best thing with homeschooling

I’m sorry it had to happen this way but it does sound as though all of you are happy with your decision. I wish it could have been better for him at school – but then that might not have been the right thing for him at this stage of life…

You do have a gift for a story. I’m just sorry it’s such a sad story in this case.

Being the new boy at school was always going to be hard but it sounds like he had a particularly difficult time.

Wishing you all the best with educating him at home.

What a well-written and heart breaking story. I couldn’t help but imagine my own son in his shoes, sitting there alone on the bench. It’s ironic how being at school with all these other children is often one of the most isolating experiences a child ever has to endure.

So glad you’ve got your happy little boy back!

I know how hard the last few weeks have been for you and Harry. I’m glad you have decided to homeschool because reading your posts over the last few weeks it seemed clear that you both missed it. You have both given school a try and found it wanting. He might have settled eventually, probably would have. But at what cost. And you clearly love homeschooling so I can’t thing of a better reason for him to be taught at home! The very best of luck to you both.

Wishing you all much wisdom, grace and joy as you start this new adventure. Whoever said parenting was a roller-coaster ride for the emotions certainly wasn’t joking.
