That's the nature of homeschooling, fitting the curriculum to the child rather than the other way around. An advisor is available Monday thru Friday from 2 to 5 p.m., California time, or by appointment, as you need. Content, work load and grading is left firmly in the hands of the parents. Grading is an art rather than a science, especially in the home school where we do not have the luxury of grading on the curve. Our programming gives clear instructions on how to start developing your own grading style with regard to your student s aptitudes.
Mom is too demanding, the level of mastery is set too low or too high for the student, etc.
And our families are always welcome to call for feedback regarding a student s quarterly reporting as they feel the need. Grading is controlled by the family. Additionally, our program packet outlines a variety of grading methods to motivate students to greater accuracy and accomplishment. The materials we use were chosen because they clearly state the assigned objectives for writing, making the work much easier to accomplish, making the grading much easier to do. Also, many of our materials have specific evaluation methods included, and we include a number of recommendations and options for evaluating written work too.
