LDP -
That is sooo weird! i'm sure there are other homeschooling parent's around, but they are probably hiding from graph-lady!

i haven't done the part time school, but from what I hear, it can interrupt the flow of the day, but it seems worth trying, anyway. Afterschool activities become very time consuming in just a few short years, and a child could get lots of socialization time in at Karate, Scouts, and sports teams.
