When letting the kids go away I always consider 1. The length of the trip 2.Who is in charge 3. their emotional independence. If it's only 3 days and you're comfortable with who is in charge, I think it would be fine. I'd make sure to talk to at least one parent personally and make a little deal with them, kwim? I did that with my son once and I was also the stand-in-mom for another woman's daughter. Will he have a cell phone with him?
And about the homeschool comment... don't assume he's just naive, he may very well be more secure and stable in that kind of environment. Good job, mommy!
