    how does home schooling work
    my son is in 11th grade.he is butting heads with teachers.. he is bored with school .he wants to graduate but the teachers don't seem to care.they keep jamming college down his throat.he doesn't want to go to college.alls the teachers care about is their paycheck.. my son learns at a different pace than everyone else.for example,he needs to learn the formula to a math equation before he can understand it, if he doesn't GET it he gives up.the teacher moves too fast because they have to teach X amount by the end of the year.ive talked to guidance councelors and they just stick with the teacher because they are all friends and the child is always wrong.my son now wants to drop out because it isn't fun and he's not learning anything.I asked to have him dropped down to a level that will teach him what he needs to pass and they won't.what are my rights as a parent to have them do this?where do I find info on a parents right.help please
