We do set goals for Munchkin, but we're moving at her pace. I'm sorry if my post came across like we had no goals in mind.

We also have certain requirements that we have set up that she will have to complete in order to graduate from our homeschool.

Thanks for stopping by. :)

However, we found it helpful to set goals for each of our students and measure their success against the goal rather than other public school children. As a former public school teacher, I recognized early on that the standards in public school were very low. Of course we consulted each state's required courses and what our high school students would be expected to have taken upon graduating, but we never compared our kids to other public school kids.<br />Thank you for your service to our country!

I like reading what others have to say about homeschooling topics. I hope others besides those already on the crew are blessed by our posting these Blog Cruise questions and answers. Good post.

I also like to check the "WorldBook" curriculum standards for general reference. Thanks for sharing this…this concept always seems to run through the mind as the schoolyear progresses.
