We feel really good about the decision. It's just a relief to have a plan, as I've discovered we are just not cut out for homescooling. We clash all day (maybe it's a personality thing; maybe it's my lack of patience; maybe we're too much alike), and I can't keep him engaged for that many hours in a row. I'm going crazy and so is ds. In other words, I'm failing as miserably as the Catholic school did, but at least I know when to admit defeat and move on. I know some would say we didn't give it a good college try before giving up, but it's just not good for our relationship (ds and me, I mean). I don't like feeling like I can't wait to get away!
That said, I didn't mean this to sound negative; we're actually really looking forward to the Montessori school. Ds has been visiting once a week to get him used to it before starting full time in January, and he's loving it! I pray that his enthusiasm lasts!
