Shantelle Engelbrecht, a guardian and owner ofThe alarm goes off at 5:30 am, open one eye, hit the snooze button and negotiate another 10 minutes of shuteye. 6:00 am — jump out of bed and start shouting at the kids to get done… NOW! We’re late. Ok, maybe it wasn’t just 10 minutes.

Why I chose this route for Tyler was less about me being the mom of the year and more about my frustrations with the education department and their online registration system. System crashes, lost docs, and at crunch time, we were not accepted to any of the preferred schools. In fact, after many department visits, the school we were given was far away and totally unsafe. Any school that has weekly random drug tests was not for us.

The first month is the most challenging. Getting used to working independently, getting used to the technology and just learning to manage his own time was an adjustment for Tyler. After that, however, he was an expert at scheduling meetings, and managing his time, and his confidence grew. Six months into this, he knows what the expectations are, what time he needs to be in his online sessions, and how to set up Ask Me Anything sessions with the Support Coaches.
