After the soul searching and the meditating...I have begun to search for homeschool curricula. Reminded of the fact that there is a Waldorf-based education system out there...I remembered that there is Oak Meadow curriculum as well as a host of others.
I am thinking that maybe we should start the boys on the preschool and 1st grade Oak Meadow lessons now and carry that through the summer. Then we bump G ahead, if he's ready, into Kindergarten when A is ready for 2nd grade. I bet we can get them back on track and "ahead" academically (where they used to be) in no time at all.
Of course, this isn't without a cost...! For the two of them to have at-home, Waldorf instruction is approximately $600, and it goes up every year. But when you compare that cost against the cost of attending the local Waldorf school (including the 20% discount for a sibiling in school) which is $25,000 for 10 months of education, then I think we're doing okay.
Have to go see Lava Monkeys...
