...I might add that there are possible family stresses if we choose the break from PS. One of my concerns is that my DS12 (who is a DYS) would need to be alone every day after school for nearly 1 1/2 hours. He is often home alone briefly after school now, but I don't like the idea of it being every day, and for so long.
I also work part time and am finally in the last year of my Master's degree, so it would also mean a lot of juggling. Nothing insurmountable - just some added stress...
Just to say that there are costs, both financial and other, to the choice.
