Thank you. I've been reading LOTS of reviews of VPS programs in our area, and now I'm leaning more towards choosing my own mix and skipping that route altogether. Apparently, there is little flexibility, and if you don't like particuar subjects, you still have to do the whole program. A lot of people, especially parents of gifted children, started the program and then quit after a few months. In my state, FL, annual testing is required. I guess that takes care of the grade level placement issue if we ever decide to go back to school. I didn't even think of that! Duh! I'm hoping we all love it so much we never want to stop! Once I decide on which programs we're going to use, I'm sure I'll post again to get more opinions! I'll be so glad when this decision making process is over. It's been way too stressful around here! On a positive note, however, only two more days of private school! Thanks again!
