Our public has been very accommodating once they have gotten to know us and saw our testing. They are starting their own testing and seem to be very open to doing whatever he needs. I had to wait till he hit their "age" rules and now they are figuring out how to catch up to him. I've heard some really good things about your school district!

But that was the point at which I realized that the "complete homeschool at home: grade 2" was probably not a good idea. It wasn't that she knew the term "phonemic awareness" in terms of meaning, mind-- she just knew that that was the "lesson purpose" since she had read it in the book that I was grabbing reproducibles from. LOL. Schr�dinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.

I was bored, so I made brownies. Before I knew it, I had eaten all the brownies. Etc. By the time he does all 15 of his sentences about brownies, his teacher is probably ready to stop by the store for brownie ingredients. ...reading is pleasure, not just something teachers make you do in school.~B.
