Hi again - thank you so much for your replies! Kriston, I can really identify with the emergency first grade homeschooling situation - that's almost exactly what I am facing.

My son has some hyperactivity that difficult to work with. We're also considering Waldorf and Montessori, though, I know, they seem very opposite in philosophy.

Kriston, did you consider another schooling situation? My son and I clash - he's got a very strong will. My husband has Asperger's, and my son has some traits that make working with him...well, challenging. Most days I am up for it, but I worry about the days I am tired or have to deal with something stressful.
