Fist, ((hugs)) to you and your DS. My son(7 1/2) went to PS K and 1 month of 1st grade. After getting his IQ results back and the school telling us "he was too smart" for them to challenge him, we began HSing. It has been wonderful for our family. DS was having terrible headaches 2-3 times a week.....needing to come home from school because of them. Since we have been HSing for over a year, he has had 2 smile
