Thanks so much for the comments - this has been such a difficult decision. I don't think the grade skip is going to be a long term solution either, though it might be a band-aid for the time being. Most people insist that there is something great about a child being in school -- that children MUST be with other children for 6.5 hours each day. I'm having a difficult time seeing how school has "helped" ours -- it's really just created so much stress and unhappiness in our house, but I'm still feeling uncertain about pulling them out. We are leaning toward homeschooling, unless I can find some concrete reason to leave the kids there in school.
Thanks again,
Alicia
