So, we decided we would stick with doing what
we're doing (see the thread on high school) and worry, er plan, for
high school when it gets closer. We let the kids the know this and I
told hubby I was going to search for an 8th grade math book and maybe
some other things we might use for 8th grade. You know how it is, I was
planning ahead!!
As I'm searching for math books (we use Saxon)
I asked son #2: "do we have this blue book"? He tells me we do and I ask
him to bring it to me so that I can compare it with what's on the
screen. He said, "okay, but why do you need another one? I'm already
using that blue book".
He brings me the blue book and lo and
behold, he IS using that book!!!! In fact, he's 10 lessons into the
book! And, the clencher here ----- it's the 8th grade book!
His question: "Does that mean I'm in the 8th grade then"?
How
can he be in the 8th grade already??? How could I be so silly as to
completely skip the 7th grade math book??? I almost have a Master's
degree, people, I don't skip important details like the 7th grade math
book. It just doesn't happen. And, I'm not blonde either. *sigh*
I
guess when hubby gets home we'll be discussing whether or not the boy is
in the 8th grade. I guess he can be. I mean he's studying an SAT test
prep book, writing 5 page reports bi-weekly, reads extremely well
(though he often mispronounces words much to our entertaining delight
LOL), and apparently he wants to be in the 8th grade.
So,
that's okay, right? I mean, I don't have to call the principle or
school superintendent or have a parent-teacher conference (which would
ultimately result in hubby and I having a conversation). There is no reason to mail in a form or a letter or anything (unless
I just get the hankering for sending myself some mail). I guess if I
have to talk it over with somebody "higher up" than hubby and I, we can
discuss it with Stanlie (read: the cat) as she thinks she rules the
world anyway.
My only other question is: Can I let all my kids skip 7th grade or do I have to buy that 7th grade math book?
