Hi, and yeah did you like go way back to read because you quit at some point, or have you been holding on to this opinion?
I've been thinking about this, and I think you're right. It's not something I considered before because 1. I was fortunate enough to be in gifted programs and AP classes (BEFORE the FCAT...I was in the very last graduating class to take the old HCT), and 2. obviously my kids don't even get graded at all... when I'm feeling insecure about homsechool it's actually what I think of as my best encouragement/biggest accomplishment, that they just all feel ok being who they are and being interested in what they naturally would be.
Sidenote: I really miss you being on facebook. I didn't realize how many pictures and little anecdotes about A and A I would normally end up sharing only there; now I feel like I'm excluding you, if I do that.
