Liz, thanks for the recommendation, it sounds like that's a good one to invest money in!
I'm all ready thinking ahead about where Ben may have problems. He's good in math, and blooming in reading thanks to 100 easy lessons so the main issues will be handwriting and I've all ready ordered handwriting without tears. I'm starting him in first at the beginning, and as he's been in first grade since August I think he'll hopefully do okay and it won't be too challenging. I've heard Calvert has awesome educational support so if we need to discuss any problems they are very helpful. I did decide not to go with the ATS because I know Ben may need to go on his own timetable. The way I look at it, he needed to repeat first grade as it is, so I've got a year and a half but I doubt it'll take him that long! I wasn't willing to finish first grade in his school then send him back there so they could mess up another year, ugh!
