[quote=Anonymous]Pros:  The cohort, the cohort and the cohort.  (They aren't perfectly behaved, but they're quick learners)  If you have a school with ELC, the center is more fun, because the cohort still moves faster so they have fun projects built into the curriculum like plays and living museums and Ted Talks.  The ELC is good instruction, but it is dry with no fun built into the curriculum - some fun added by teacher, if they have time.

Cons: Logistics!  Many variations on logistics:  The bus is mentioned frequently, but there are other logistical downsides. 
 Hard to get together socially other than for special occasions like weekend birthday parties because of geographic spread of  kids.  Some separation from home school friends inveitable. 
 Kids scattered to the winds for so many middle schools after CES.  During this pandemic, it has been very apparent that the birthday parade we recently attended for a CES kids was filled with the home neighborhood friends (who happen to be a great group) rather than a bunch of CES kids[/quote]
