We just started this year with my DD8. So, its been almost 3 months. It has worked out great for us, much better than I even expected. DH and I trade off responsibilities. We do not do the coop classes, but she does an art class and chess is about to start. She spends quite a bit of time at gymnastics, with kids at church, and other sports. She and DH also do the field trips once a month. So, you see, there are many ways to socialize. Academically, it was definitely the best thing we could do. She is in 3rd grade and between the different subjects she is doing a range of 3rd -5th grade work and she has lots of time to explore areas outside of the basic subjects, like Spanish and computer programming games.
