04/21/2005 Archived Entry: "buzz buzz went the busy bees"

I'm exhausted. I can't even begin to type out how my days have been going the last two days or it will make me even more tired. I look forward to Monday, the day we have absolutely nothing going on. Right now, I force myself to stay up later than I'd like just so I can sit for a few moments with nothing to do except stare at the compuer and eat some Crunch 'n Munch.

Switching gears, I wanted to answer a question in the comments. I was asked if I'll being making a report card for Tabitha. The answer is no. The point of report cards is so the teacher can inform the parents how their child is doing in school. Obviously I already know how she's doing with her lessons. Plus, I don't give grades and we don't think of her work in terms of grades. It's all about learning, not passing a test. Now, I will say that if Tabitha (and Daisy too, for that matter) homeschools through high school and has the desire to go straight to a four year college, then I will need to make a transcript for her to include with her applications. The info contained in it will depend on if she were to attend a UC, Cal State or Private college. If she starts in a Community College, then she won't need a transcript. Or she may decide college is not for her and then she really won't need a transcript at all. But for now, no report cards as they are completely unnecessary.

thanks for clearing that up :) My neighbor crafts one for her kids but they use to go to a public school so they were asking for one when they started homeschooling. I wasn't sure what your thoughts were on it!
