Yeah, I don't love the 3-hour window. I'm glad that the Homeschool Buyers' Co-op got access back, but the 3-hour window is a pain. We just worked it into our schedule pretty strictly, whether we like it or not. Since we do have a relatively routine schedule, it works okay.
We had trouble with Plato not being as independent as I wanted it to be last year. This year, it's working great. Other than one more year of age and maturity, I'm not sure what has changed.
Kim, does your DS like other computer-based work? Or is it perhaps the computer that's the problem? Would he prefer a book, too?
And hkc75: LOL! You know we'll get right on that. Ha!
