We are part time homeschooling, it's working pretty well. There are definately negatives, but no situation is perfect. It's helped that my children attended the school for a couple years before we began. They already had established friendships which worked for them. Their friends just accept that they are at home for part of the time.

We are not ruling out changing the situation to a total homeschool environment. We're not moving towards that currently, mind you, it's just that it is a good option for us and we may end up going that route.
