[quote=Anonymous]I am pretty sure that we will settle on the other side of DC, but I will look into the Friends school, as I'm certainly open to exploring all options. 
In the ideal world, there would be a homeschool hybrid charter, where the kids go to school three days a week and are homeschooled the other two days. There is a school like that in my hometown, and it seems like the best of both worlds.    I do want him to have band/sports teams etc .  The area I live in now doesn't have as many offerings for homeschooling as I would have hoped for.  I did find a coop that is very well planned, which meets once a week, but I would prefer a more frequent coop.  I have not completely abandoned the idea of continuing to homeschool him if the need arises, but I think I would prefer a bit of a break from some aspects of it. :-)  I have thought about perhaps tutoring some of the subject areas as a part time job, as it would be nice to put these skills to use, and I actually do have a teaching background, just not one that I have ever used outside the world of homeschooling.      It's interesting that it's always easier to tolerate another child's obstinate attitude, rather than one's own flesh and blood.  I think it is just that it feels SO personal, when our children decide to be that way with us.

[quote=Anonymous]It would be a haul, but look at Friends Community School in College Park.  A lovely school, very welcoming, and not expensive for public school.  Also, I would think that after years of being at home and homeschooling, you could offer yourself out as a homeschool assistant or something.  Wouldn't be a bundle of money, but as a person who is considering homeschooling for middle school, I could see hiring someone to work with my (special needs) child on some subjects.  Even just to give me a break from his obstinate attitude!  Or do something like put together small groups of homeschoolers for activities that you organize.  Anyway, not sure if you would be interested, but I would love to find something like that if I decide to homeschool.[/quote][/quote]
