We went to Charleston WV for the CTY awards, as DD9 got high honors in verbal. I found it interesting there are so many home schoolers there which was great, but again there seems to be something lacking in the public education that there wern't more kids from a ps. Just doesn't seem like WV has placed an importance in education. What a shame.
We did get to meet some kids there who did soooo well on their tests, one of the boys placed 1st in math for SAT in the country, and under age 13! Very inspiring to see that.
DD9 also got her first ever D on a report she did. She just got skipped to 5th a month ago, so this is her first report since that skip, and she wrote it without any of us proof reading it. Also having some trouble with remembering to bring home her folders, having us sign her papers, ect. We will just have to keep a closer eye on her stuff and try to help her be more responsible.
We had her rewrite the paper, making corrections and adding things here and there. She was actually very happy to do it, a little bit of the perfectionist in her.
