I have to brag on the kids. That's kind of the point of this blog.
Today we had Parent/Teacher conferences with the grade-schoolers. I stopped worrying about how they adjusted from home school to public school last year when they came home with straight A's after the first quarter, but they continue to amaze me with their performance.
Miss G is the top of her class. Her teacher has made her the tutor to help other kids that are struggling. Miss G's gentle nature (when she's not mad!) makes her a natural teacher and she patiently helps them along.
Mr I is reading books that most people don't pick up until they get to college! His teacher can't seem to give him enough to read. He's basically tested out three grade level ahead of where he is.
Miss D is going to be a doctor. Or a lawyer. Or some other genius type. That's according to her teacher. Miss D is testing out on math at the 12th grade level and, though she inherited her father's spelling ability, is able to write and articulate herself well beyond grade school level.
You know, I don't normally like being rude, but to all those who kept saying home school was a mistake and a cop out, I never did say "I told you so". So I'll say it now... oh wait, I already did.
