A bit of a setback for Elder this morning. The welfare person at his school suggested we try next term for three morning sessions a week in class for an hour each time. When I mentioned it to Elder he had a meltdown, couldn't sleep and now isn't going to this morning's meeting at all ππ It seems like a bit of a leap from where he is now, and I only told him what it might look like and I didn't push, but I guess it's my fault and I feel like I've set him back by even mentioning it. His therapist actually suggested that online virtual schools might be the solution for now because he's missed the whole first year of highschool up to this point, but the problem with that is Mr P is dyslexic and is not au fait with internet and tech and I have work, so there'd be nobody at home in a position to support him. I'm going to talk to my boss about more flexible hours (the financial planner in my head says, "but we need the money dammit!"), but I'm not optimistic as it is a factory job after all. Virtual Schools Victoria, aside from when the classes are held via video conferencing, are actually very flexible in their scheduling. Going to work now with all this running around in my head and had to put it somewhere π€―π΅βπ«
