12 YO has become increasingly defiant...

Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = We are pulling our son out of PS in the Fall and teaching him and my daughter from home. #1 because that is what God instructs us to do, #2 because our 12 YO has become increasingly defiant and his grades are falling fast. There is no drug/alcohol abuse, just a sense of the world revolving around him and lack of empathy for others. Lack of motivation and lack of desire to do antything if it doesn't concern him, his friends, girls and skating. (in that order). Just wondering if anyone out there has taken their child from a PS and had a good experience homeschooling. We have tried everything and view ourselves as reasonable parents with reasonable expectations. Thank you!
