Have you done this for every age once in school or do you have an age that you start that at?<BR/><BR/>I'd be very interested in reading your list.

I am a goal oriented person. Since he started 9th grade this year, I started a goal book (last year because a wanted a year to get ready for high school) with sections for each subject and copies of papers or tests that documented he achieved each goal. But, I also included copies of letters or certificates from things he voluntered for. Nowhere else would he have gotten the life opportunities he's gotten than by homeschooling! Thanks for the reminder- after a long day of trying to get algebra into his head!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-69546843933805406892008-09-10T16:57:00.000-05:002008-09-10T16:57:00.000-05:00Brenda,I always enjoy when you give us an inside l...Brenda,<BR/><BR/>I always enjoy when you give us an inside look on the true state of teaching in the public schools.

With all of the standards to meet and tests to pass, and the lack of organization on an administrative level, it would be very difficult to give every child an individualized education. That's sad for the student and the teacher. I'm so glad we homeschool.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980716707225502492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-68998479051503864932008-09-09T10:47:00.000-05:002008-09-09T10:47:00.000-05:00Hey I left you an I love your blog award. come ch...Hey I left you an I love your blog award. come check it out!Carrie Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670280441133422191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-23812604429827543212008-09-09T09:36:00.000-05:002008-09-09T09:36:00.000-05:00Yep.

I was "trained" to teach to the whole child when I was trained to teach public school. You know, multiple intelligences and the like. However, looking back now, I wasn't very good at it. Understandably so, I now see.karlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104801824445226420noreply@blogger.com
