acs, you are lucky. that's what i hope for for my kiddos--good situations like your son's.

I feel we do a little hybrid--public school, supplemented as needed by on-line and summer courses. I tried to buy Singapore Math online yesterday for DS6 because I don't like his math curriculum at school and thought we could do some this summer together. DS11 & DS13 will both take summer institute courses and just finished online course. DS9 takes an online course, too. My father was just visiting and said, "They should do something fun this summer--not schoolwork" and I tried to convince him that the institutes are more fun than run, jump, skip camp with age-mates. He wasn't convinced. So funny, too, because his daughters never liked to run, jump, skip either.
