My son hates all "school"

I should preface by saying I am not really an "unschooler", my son has some severe math disabilities, as well as ADHD.
My son is in 6th grade and HATES basically all lesson formatted learning. He loves to read and will for hours, can make up a very creative story, loves to build things and do art, be outside and with animals. I really want to try to keep him as close to grade level as possible with his learning, but he just hates school. Every day we waste so much time with him complaining about starting the lesson, how long the lesson is taking, tells me that his brain is too tired to do math. It ends in tears almost daily with fighting. I don't want our relationship to be fractured. We tried putting him in school the year before last, and it was an utter disaster. The teacher said that he had a severe mouth disability as well and she witness the overwhelming and struggles. He also dealt with bullying and his self-esteem plummeted. He was also so overly exhausted every day, that he was basically a blob until bedtime, so I don't think that putting him in school is the answer either I want to hear from the Unschooling community if their children are actually learning, honestly. Can your child write? Can they do math?At my wits end and trying to figure out how he can learn and be challenged while actually enjoying his existence. He is constantly asking me to watch tv or play video games, which I o may allow an hour a day but that seems to be his only joy at home.

Can't find an assistant gig

Graduated last month and was hired as an assistant. They were using illegal BB formula and told them I didn't want to use it (for my health and also, my license) I was fired. Now I can't find another assistant gig, anywhere! I really just feel like I need more training with color technique before I launch on my own. Looking for advice

Illegal Chemical Usage

Will preface this by saying, I know that there are a lot of chemicals in California that are not banned in other states. My salon is currently using Brazilian keratin that is banned in the state of California. There are multiple people doing them in the salon a week and it is causing my eyes to burn and I get dizzy. What do I do? I would feel awful reporting them but there is a reason it's banned here. Looking for solid advice

Air bnb vs hotel

I am really pondering which to choose from! I have booked both and am able to cancel both. The idea of being able to relax a day or make our own food sound pleasing, but it is definitely more expensive. Having my room tidied also sounds great. Thoughts?

Daughter diagnosed with "mild lupus"?

Hey all. my daughter, 18 was sort of diagnosed at age 16 with lupus. Her blood work showed a bunch of things that pointed in that direction and she had some symptoms like achy joints, extreme exhaustion, no matter what, and occasional rash. But the rheumatologist that we saw the time did not seem to think it warranted medication outside of some things for her heart to regulate the rhythms. Well, it's been two years, and she seems to be getting a little worse, she's in her last month of school and it's definitely been grueling for her. She had her bloodwork redone and the doctor said that it looks like mild lupus again we have an appointment with a new rheumatologist, but it's not until October cause anyone here been given that sort of if he diagnosis? Also, I'm just looking for some encouragement for her. She's so tired of being tired at only 18 years old.

My new beardie doesn't seem very interested in food

My 6 week old beardie just die at seem too interested in food. I have given him crickets and dubias the size of between his eyes. When I put them in his tank, he doesn't go after them really. I would say he's only eating a few per day. I even tried feeding him with tweezers but he is not interested. Any tips?

3 days of bliss.. sort of

So we have a 1 month old guy or gal, we've had him 3 days. We are obsessed. However, he hasn't been interested in the crickets hoping around. He has eaten the tiny meal worms offered. When do I start worrying? I do think the crickets are large, but that's what they gave me at the store for his size. Also, will crickets eat meal worms? That was my other worry. Yes we have a uvb it came after I took this photo

Psych!

Wouldn't it be rad if the "last episode" was a psych and they go back in time and it's like what not to do for Alice and Kat and Elliot. And then there is a season 5! Like maybe that's why they are pushing social media posts, because it's not actually over!!
