How dare you question his credentials?

He is a sage, a seer, a savant !

He sits atop his very own mount Olympus and hands down wisdom like a modern Buddha or Zeus 

He doesn’t need to explain; he simply says, and it is !

So sit back and look on in wonder at this latter day prophet

Cheers.

Come on mate  a wise old head if your in bendigo place what would you do ?

I have absolutely no experience or knowledge of autism, so best to adopt the maxim of “say nothing and let people assume I’m stupid, rather than speak and confirm it”.

I lost both my children to cancer, so I know the heartache children can bring.

I wish Bendigo all the best with his son, that’s about all the input I can give

Cheers.

Terrible mate, no man would want to walk a mile in your shoes and I can’t even begin to imagine the strength of will it took just to keep putting one foot in front of the other every day.

This thread was never about autism, Bendigo never said that.

It was me that mentioned it as an example of how the common misconception that home schooling somehow turns kids into a social cripple just isn’t true, as in if an autistic lad is a well rounded social being then that’s true for everyone…..it’s not home school that will effect someone’s social skills. 

Bendigo is simply is exploring better outcomes for his boy because the environment he is in is negative for him.

Thats how I understood it and I think I’m right !

Happy to be corrected as always…..just not by folks who obviously don’t know what they are talking about.

Ah, OK, these threads do tend to meander

So I’ll just repeat what I said earlier. I don’t think I have the academic ability or patience for home schooling..

Cheers.

I’m a bit of a stoic and a fatalist mate, so life has to go on.

We are lucky to have a grandson who appears to be turning out to be somewhat of a child prodigy and is unashamedly spoilt rotten by us and his Saudi family, but he is pretty grounded.

Ive no experience of the modern state school system , both my children were privately educated as is our grandson , so I can’t really give any advice on the subject

Cheers.

It comes down to effort mate, you do what is within your power to do given all the various circumstances of your life…..for some like you it will mean working extremely hard and putting your money into giving your kids the best education money can buy, for others it’s being a member of the PTA, a helper or reader in their spare time, other may homeschool if it’s within their power to do that….most people just do the best they can in their own way.

However, far too many just want to Chuck them out at the gate every morning, not give two shits between 8:45 and 16:00 then have the school hand them back Elon Musk after 5 years…..and if goes wonky it’s the schools fault !
