Deciding when to stop homeschooling can be even tougher. No matter how long you've been homeschooling, if you're wondering if it's time to stop, here are some things to consider.

Firstly, do not despair that your child has been 'categorised' as having a learning disability. This may or may not be correct. It may simply be that the classroom that the child is in follows a teaching style not optimal for your child's learning style. If this is the case, then more personalised and focused attention may yield very different results.
