here's one of our tipping points pointing more and more towards homeschooling ... living in a school district that's low on money (while constantly increasing property taxes), as a result of which one of the schools will be closing down after this coming year, and with our luck it is OUR school that is closing down and having 2E kids, one with life threatening allergies and the other going from acting "normal" at home to acting "retarded" (it's really the best fitting word if I was looking at him as an outsider when he gets like that) when in a larger social setting ... the busride time increasing from under 5 minutes to about 20-30 minutes, we are looking at a serious safety issue for both of them (in terms of health and potential bullying with kids K-6th grade on the same bus). Also going from having the paramedics next door to having them 5-10 minutes away. This is a very big deal for us. So DS4.9 will start Kindergarten this fall before the school closes next year but what happens after that, we don't know.
