With only one child, it seems like there are many, many things that we could pass along when we are done with them. It is too bad that we don't all live close to each other. Maybe we need a gifted material ebay-like thread for gently used material? Mom to DS12 and DD3

I'd prefer to spend it in dribs and drabs all year as things change. I think that's a much better plan, 'Neato. Ah, a co-op with you gang would be SO fabulous! <swoon> If wishes were horses, my back yard would need a good shoveling right about now! Kriston

LMom Member Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 902	Originally Posted by Kriston I'm still seriously considering buying. DH says, "Go ahead. It's only $129." But I keep thinking that $129 here, $69.95 there...pretty soon it adds up to the cost of the GT school's tuition! In most cases I keep telling myself that I would have bought it anyway even if DS were at school. Even with him in Montessori last year I had a big set of Singapore workbooks. 95% of the science books we will use next year were bought before we decided to hs. I would have got HeyMath! regardless and the list goes on and on. There are a few things I wouldn't have bought but not that many. LMom
