Home schooling

We've decided to homeschool T in the afternoons after school with a formal homeschooling program (it has to be in addition to the public school because homeschooling only is illegal in Germany). He is taking his placement tests now. This way he can keep up with the curriculum for his age and we'll view the German public school as a way for him to learn German and play with other kids during the day--not much more since it is very apparent now that we can not expect any help from them to teach him German or keep him on his grade level. We also have arranged for him to visit highschool age students three times a week for help with his public school homework.
