this really hits home with me as we begin our homeschooling path. DD is only 5, but currently blistering through Grade 3+, depending on the subject.

in my head, we'll find a middle/high school arrangement for her that will get her some normal transcripts - there are several interesting programs in our town that might be a good fit, but they're not for elementary students. in the meantime, in addition to the meticulous record-keeping, DD is eligible for standardized tests through the public board - and we'll do every single one.

i've finally stopped feeling like i have to defend our decision to everyone and their dog(s), but i suspect this kid is probably going to need a serious University at some point, and those folks need data.

Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
