If anyone ever has the need, there is always Connections Academy. I have not personally used them. It's free online public school. All you do is make the child or teen do the work and teachers grade it and keep up with your child. If the child has a problem, they can send a teacher to the home to provide private tutoring. It doesn't have to be buying your own textbooks and doing everything from scratch anymore. Actually, I think they've closed a lot of the special schools for kids in trouble and gone to CA. Also, since in my state they can have several counties with less than 50 children, I think they are going to that in the very rural areas anyway. I'm sure it's cheaper than keeping a school open for 12 children who have to ride the bus for an hour just to get there.
