This was our first year homeschooling and because I had to file as a non public school for my DD to be tested and an IEP written I had to document and follow some guidelines. Now I'm thinking ahead because all that has been done and I don't need to file with the state next year now that my DD has a partial enrollment, or at least not as a non public school = no state say next year.
I am so tired of everyone commenting if she says something about doing chemistry or something else out of "the norm". Typically I get the "but what about the gaps for this year" or some similar comment about what we are skipping over and missing by going ahead to chemistry, biology and physics. Am I wrong in believing that studying these will cover whatever gaps? She was completely bored to death with the science GLCE's for this year, that being why we added Real Science4Kids Chemistry in and some other things as well. I don't want to miss major concepts but lets be real here, she doesn't want to learn about a basic definition of matter and that it changes when she already thinks Real Science4Kids Chemistry Level 1 is "so easy". What have you done to make sure you are challenging them and covering whatever they need to know?
