Not that the decision is his, really, but have you asked your son what his ideal would be -- the Montessori school or homeschooling? I would be careful to say that it is you and your DH making the decision and that you're still not sure what you'll decide, but that you're trying to make the best decision and you were wondering about his thoughts on the matter.

Also, I totally agree with the go with your gut idea. In the end, that's always what it boils down to, and if your decision doesn't work out then you've done your best and you can always adjust. And that's a great lesson for any kid.

She thought she could, so she did.
