Cecilia,

We have been 1/2 time this year and for us,it IS the best of both worlds! Because DS8 is at a middle/high school we explained that a full day work load was too much for a then 7 year old. As far as what to tell his current classmates,I think I would keep it simple. Something like "we are trying a different type of education in an effort to meet his needs". I don't think I would elaborate much. Good Luck!
