This isn't the life I want for my son! On the other hand, it doesn't seem

fair to those other kids to give my son straight A's for his unschooling
life

and him earn a patch for having a great time. But I want to help him with
his

goals, and an academic patch is currently one of his goals. What do I do?

Zak was going to Karate and there was the same problem so I asked the Sensei
(sp?) Master what he did for kids that were either unschooled or
homeschooled and he said he would think about it and come up an answer. He
said that he was thinking about not doing the badges based on reports from
school but reports from parents. He's going to think about it for a little
longer..

Another thing... I went into Blockbuster which happens to be on the same
block as the Karate and saw a big sign that said "Bring in a A Report Card
from School and get a video for free"... So asked "what do you for kids that
are homeschooled"... 3 of them looked at each other and said "go and get him
a video if you want" in a very pleasant manner, so we did.

But then if a child doesn't have that patch he will resent his parents.
Another thing the karate school should avoid...

My opinion of Kirby's behavior or "work" isn't a factor at his karate school.
I'm just transportation and banker. I'm no other part of the equation.
