Unfortunately, as mother of boys who sometimes started their days as early as 6:00 A.M., the secular part of education was a challenge. First there were the boys who were not interested and disturbed the rest of the class. Two, the teacher was frustrated and sometimes dealt very negatively in handling these unruly behaved boys. Some teachers coming from Public School after a long day with different elements would take the frustrations out on these boys too.
What i did with my youngest was homeschool him. We set up a program where we had frum accredited teachers come to our house(after yeshiva hours at 9:00P.M. and Friday afternoons) to teach him all material necessary for a Regents diploma. B”H it took 2.5 years and yes his diploma is in the drawer with other documents. If in the future he does want to go into such as CPA or other field for which a diploma is needed, he has the needed diploma. The teachers who came to our house were impressed and we had others who wanted to teach other subjects as our son was the perfect student, opposite of what they were faced with in the classroom(of a yeshiva). There was no funding for this, we paid cash for the service and his old High School let him take regents through their yeshiva for which we gave a nominal donation.
Let me mention that we a a chassidic family and boys go to what is considered ultra. The Rosh Yeshiva knew about our plan and agreed as long as it did not effect his Limudei Kodesh.
