I second the 'thanks for digging this up'. I just reread my old post, we must have been having a really good day LOL! And Blob, I always appreciate your perspective. We don't follow any particular grade around here either. However, today I did go over some of the grade level expectations with DD7 while she was taking a bath!!!! And I wonder why she is so intense.... I periodically do this just to calm myself down because it seems like we haven't been doing much 'school work' lately. To add fuel to my fire, I've been having all of these conversations with adults who insist that their lives would have been better if they had been pushed a little harder by their teachers and parents. I spend so much effort trying not to push that hearing an alternate viewpoint really rocks my world. Needless to say, our pace is slow in areas of low interest!
