NTmom, SO happy for you! I wish you the best of luck. Your "annual downhill slide at school" comment made me reflect on my own ds10...You know, the classic "class clown" ... I guess I always knew in my heart that he didn't have a great fit at school but what really sealed it, was when I started to substitute teach. I always thought I knew but WOW, it really hit me. I can't believe (well, I guess I can) how much the schools "dumb" down the curriculum. I am seriously surprised our kids don't go crazy frown Grinity, love the 'jump for the carrot'...Hahahahaha smile
