Mary - I just needed to add that we are in the same situation. I work and DH stays home. The battles that would happen if DH were to home school would not be pretty. What I have seen of the homework wars, I can only assume would be exasperated!
My DS is also 7.5. He is happy in school right now - but we have radical acceleration for math that is also taught mostly one-on-one with enrichment. Luckily, DS is happy to coast in the other subjects and can be accomodated in his 2nd grade class with some subject enrichment.
But before we got the math worked out - he was miserable about everything. At home, at school, etc. So I know what you are talking about.
Good luck with your meeting and I'd love to chat sometime about the challenges and benefits of our home arrangements and having a PG child in the mix!
Maria
