Haha! This is exactly why I need all of you!
The rest of our "real world" friends would think I'm nuts for being so strung out about this stuff.
Even my husband tried to convince me that I'd have more hours in the day if I "only gave 90%." How does one go about doing that, I really would like to know!
Kimck, your advice on MCT is really insightful, too. Now I'm leaning more towards doing LanguageSmarts with our poetry/latin/vocab/lit this semester, then moving to Grammar Island next semester. Gifted 3rd will still likely be a good fit then, esp. since it sounds like MCT changes it up quite a bit from regular LA curriculum. DS is on track to get through a year of curriculum per semester, anyhow, and since LanguageSmarts stops after D, it'll give us something new to look forward to afterwards.
Thanks again!
