Oh, Cym, your post reminded me...I have heard that some people have trouble with some of the online programs if they're inflexible about time. For certain programs, you must login at a set time every school day, which rather defeats one of the main attractions for homeschooling: the flexibiility. I know zilch about which programs are like this, but I have heard that some are. If you want the option for field trips, you might want to check on this so you don't get stuck with one that locks you in front of the computer for many hours per week, whether you need them or not.
I realize this is pretty vague...sorry!
