Jun. 17th, 2005 03:39 pmAnother school year is officially complete!
The kids had their evaluations today. We had to use a new evaluator this year, because the one who did the last two years stopped at the sixth grade level, and Justin was in seventh this year. Last night was chaos as Deb rushed to get the portfolios and the house in order.
Justin's was over and done with fairly quickly - I don't have any more details than that. The evaluator was very impressed with Rachel, and how she expressed herself (this is, after all, the seven year old who lectured her nine-month old brother "never to pull a woman's bangs" when he was yanking on her hair.) She was also impressed with Brandon, who apparently is just planning ahead for when he starts schooling and is trying to make a good impression a few years in advance... he didn't fuss or cry at all, and actually even cuddled up to the evaluator once.
Next year we're trying something different. Justin will actually be part of the public school system, albeit an online charter school. Still some indecision as to whether or not Rachel will be home schooled or sent to public school.
