You know I agree with this entire post, but I have to comment on the ODD (opposition/defiant disorder). I think all of these labels are just dumb. This one especially. I had a lady call me cuz she heard that I hsed my kids. The ONLY reason she was considering hsing was cuz her dd had ODD (opposition...

I guess what I would do is weigh both sides of the issue: Will he be board? Will he be behind? vs How much will I be able to handle in the future? I don't know your son's personality, so I don't know if he would be board. Looks like fun to me though. I really don't think he would be behind public sc...

To be honest with you I don't know why ABeka gets such a bad rap. My older three did ABeka math up to the highschool level (then the bad rap is fitting!) and they did fantastic with it. I say if your son likes it stick with it. :o)
