Mary, I only have one question for you. Given all the things
that you have mentioned, not to mention the things that others
have added, why *wouldn't* you home school your son, if you are
in a position to do so? Why do you hesitate at all?

Have you asked him what *he* prefers? Having an aide/TSS is only
an advantage in the environment where he needs one. If he
wouldn't need one in a home school setting it is no disadvantage
not to have one.
You have listed many advantages to home school, and not one
disadvantage. I can't think of any disadvantages either, unless
he just doesn't want to do it.
