Do you keep every...
workbook they've ever done? Math and grammar workbooks are piling up and I'd like permission to let them go.

Re: Do you keep every...
Granted!
Good heavens, no, don't keep them unless you required them for record-keeping. |

Re: Do you keep every...
Goodness, no. I throw everything away at the end of the week, sometimes before.
I don't need to keep any proof of work, though.

Re: Do you keep every...
Stop that!
In answer to the question, no, I don't keep every single one. I keep a few just so the kids have a visual to show them how much they've improved in any given subject (i.e. when Timothy's getting frustrated with his math, I can go back and show him how much his math has improved and it makes him feel better), but I don't have enough storage space for that much paperwork. |

Re: Do you keep every...
Thanks, everybody! I tore the covers off so we'd have some reminder of what they've done and THREW AWAY several workbooks!

Re: Do you keep every...
My kids prefer the 'end of the year, report already approved' bonfire method.

Re: Do you keep every...
I have way too much stuff in a bin somewhere and I think I'm gonna toss it when I get the chance...I feel overwhelmed by all of it and since one of mine is in school now, I definitely don't need it...

Re: Do you keep every...
I had a mom say that she let's the kids have a bonfire at the end of the school year and burn workbooks

Re: Do you keep every...
William wants proof of work, so I'm going to start taking pictures of work pages and uploading them into Evernote.

Re: Do you keep every...
I'm in a non-reporting state and I still have a hard time throwing out workbooks lol. However, my shelves are getting full so this thread should motivate me to get rid of some of it.
