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...
My dd still reminisces fondly about the first time she got to throw her own math workbook in the trash. She'd love a bonfire.
I keep all of their creative work, none of their workbooks.

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...

I keep most of the creative stuff but not the stuff with right and wrong answers. I might keep a page or two of a workbook if I really want to, but not usually.

Re: Do you keep every...
I do that, or let the littles cut them up. Horizons always has cute illustrations. I also do that with handwriting without tears. They like the drawings and I figure it is cheaper and more enviromentally friendly than buying them a bunch of junk workbooks at the dollar store
