Oh, and Dottie -- I'm kind of impressed with how on top of it I am, too! Usually I'm pretty laid back. I guess I just figure that if I don't do it now, bad things will happen -- I can see ds becoming *the* biggest slacker if he doesn't have to work at school. I see so much budding potential in him and I want him to be able to move as much at his own rate as possible without full-out homeschooling him.
And I'm doing it right away because I've figured out how v e r y slowly schools move, just like any other institution. Otherwise they'll just keep coming up with ways to put us off another year, and another year ... and the kid will be bored to tears in the classroom the whole time, stagnating.
