Crazy Homeschoolers!
You know how crazy things get at the end of the year? Well, that’s how life is for two more weeks. If God brings me to mind, could you pray about my patience as I assemble the older boys’ portfolios? (Our evaluation is Tuesday.) For those of you who aren’t PA homeschoolers, the law in PA is that you have to turn in a log showing 180 days of instruction and what you did on those days and a portfolio showing samples of your child’s work for the year in all subjects. This must be evaluated by a licensed teacher (at the homeschooler’s expense!) and then the evaluator’s assessment, any test scores and the log and portfolio must be turned in to the school district for review. Plus, this year I have to make up my first high school transcript. I’ve got some samples to look at, but I still have to do it!
Nathan takes the AP Language exam on Monday and also goes out turkey hunting on Saturday morning, both of which are needful of many prayers!
Here’s another picture from the play with my son as Charles and his “romantic interest” Suzanne. (No, do not pelt me with bricks! It was all in the play!)

I thought that was one of the funniest scenes!
yeah, i know how you feel about those portfolios…they are the hardest part of the whole process.
im sure yours will go great though…
your play looks like it was alot of fun from the costuming!
I am the play went so well! I am also glad that I don’t live in PA. AZ homeschool laws are so easy. We don’t have to show anything. Which I guess is good and bad. Good for those of us that actually school our children and bad for those that don’t. NC is a little more strict I think, but we don’t have to do the whole portfolio thing. Just test every year. I will be praying for you!
Amazing picture of Caitlin and Nathan…..Blackmail comes to mind…..;D
I’ll pray for you. I hope these next few weeks go smoothly for you.
You should move to Texas, we have it much better here. If you are a licensed teacher yourself do you still have to have your children’s papers evaluated by some one different?
It’s a lot less hassle where I live, but I’m not sure it’s all good.
