<<Will your children be able to pass college entrance exams when they are
that
age? I am wondering because since I joined this list I have heard very
very little conversation pertaining to academics, though I have asked
more
than once. Math, Science, History, etc.>>

I think this requires a different view of tests and learning. My
daughter sees a test as a hoop for jumping through to a desired activity.
I don't care if they choose to acquire a degree for their life's
occupation or not. If they do, however, they can memorize what they need
to pass any test.

The public school system made sure I graduated in spite of my failure to
do the work. When I decided to attend college a few years later I also
chose to take basic math and english classes. The counselor thought I
was nuts since I wasn't required to do so but I knew I was lacking . In
one semester's time I was up to speed and better.
