enroll him in private school; it's much better.

Yes you can enroll him BUT...if you are having problems and he is already going to have to deal with the move to another state, he may have problems with the change of a new school also. Be sure the guidance counselor at the new school knows his history so he can get assistance if needed.
Many times students that have been homeschooled are overwhelmed with the stress of a classroom and the change of being with a group of 100 or more kids each day.
Good luck!

I don't think that enrolling him will be a problem, but have you considered homeschooling him without the program? My mom homeschooled my sister and I all the way through highschool without being inrolled in a program, school or government anything and I am in a great college finishing my degree. It is possible and a great way to really grow up your kids. If you have any questions you can email me directly (lizzey_in_pink@yahoo.com) and I can forward them to my mom. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Yes. Not only could you enroll your son in public school, in many states you MUST enroll him in school under their state's education laws (I assume Utah does not have provisions for homeschooling? ) Check with the local school district for the appropriate way to register him and assign him to a particular school and class.

You can. Be prepared, though. He may have a tough time adjusting to being in a classroom. I get new students all the time who have been home-schooled (BTW I teach 4th Grade). They usually adjust OK to the academics, but have a tough time for a while adjusting to the routines of the classroom because now they are one of 32 students in class. Hopefully, your son won't have too much trouble. Good luck!

I assume most states work the same way. Call the county courthouse, ask for the regional office of education superintendent of schools. Call his office. They can give you all the information you need that is authoritative and accurate.
Good luck.
