Personally I really like the idea of having DD with you. I'm in the situation of having DD6 in the local district with a good reputation but find it's still a challenge.

This is only loosely related but I've taught Sunday school with DD's in the class. At first they were hanging on me, so we had a talk about treating me like a teacher in the classroom. They understood it when I put it in terms of fairness and other children not having their mothers with them.

Having a DD4 who's very intense, I can understand your apprehension. I've found she's much better in the classroom for me than at home.

Looking forward to hearing other perspectives on this interesting choice of options.
