Hi C.,
As a former teacher,now retired after my children were born,I have had conversations about homeschooling with other moms. I think that before you consider this you should sit down with your child's teacher and the school counselor or principal. You can request an IEP for your daughter. It is an Individualized Education Program that will be put together to help your child. The teacher in no way should be recommending medication for you to give your daughter. She's a teacher not a doctor. And if you have to mention the "No Child Left Behind" Act. I just think that you should try to explore all of your options at your daughters school before you pull her out. Now my opinion on homeschooling is that if you have the proper resources and time it is a rewarding way of going. I have many friends that homeschool their children and it gives them the sense of knowing that their child is getting the attention that they deserve along with providing some special one on one times with their children that they would normally have missed out on. The only con that I would have would be the lack of social interaction that the children get. They are still active in playgroups, sports, etc... but there is still that small thing missing when you don't have that constant everyday bond with other children.
I hope that this helps you. Best of luck!!!!
