A.Y.

Here in NC we have to test every year, and just have them "on file". I don't
even want to do that! I know my son is learning so much, but since we live on a
farm most of it is not book learning. And besides who cares? As long as he
knows what he needs to know in order to fulfill his dreams that's fine with me,
:)
I'm planning on buying the tests, and then just doing them together. I think he
will understand that we have to have them in our file just so we can continue to
stay home. He is a very philosophical child at 6!
