Came back to say I’m referring only to what we’ve NEEDED to keep. We can easily provide documentation if more is needed. And I’m slow to toss and clean stuff so curriculum is here if we need it. Once kid #3 is in college I will purge better
However, in high school, I put my kids in charge of a portfolio of sorts. As well as their checklists and work completion. I audit and supervise of course . Once dd1 was accepted to and registered for fall semester, she threw everything away after asking what I wanted. I’m going to get more involved w ds cuz he’d toss everything if I don’t look first
And I’m in a low reporting state. Only need to register and be able provide attendance IF I get a call. I’ve not known anyone to get a call.
In high school I stop worrying abt state requirements and focus 100% on “college prep” from 9th grade. To clarify that by far exceeds my state’s requirements
I require a kid be ready for college whether they want to go or it
kid #2 insisted his entire life he wasn’t going to college. Now he finds himself in a job he may want to pursue advancement and requires a 4 year degree. He’s starting senior year and because he HATES school, He has slacked off in certain areas but a year will be plenty to polish up what he needs for college.
