Granted!

Good heavens, no, don't keep them unless you required them for record-keeping.

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.

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.

Thanks, everybody! I tore the covers off so we'd have some reminder of what they've done and THREW AWAY several workbooks!

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...

William wants proof of work, so I'm going to start taking pictures of work pages and uploading them into Evernote.
I'm falling in love with ever note

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.
