[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 40440, member: 1991"] We're lucky, because the correspondence system means difficult child 3's work is graded with other kids doing the same classes, also by correspondence. He did very well last year - the first time he's ever won any sort of school award. For him, it showed how much better he could do studying at home instead of in a classroom. We also have regular government testing, in various grades. difficult child 3's grade is the one getting tested, he's done one test already and has the next one next Tuesday (when ALL kids in the state, in his year, have to do the same test). This helps the schools see how well the kids are doing compared to the whole state. You can get a good feel for how they're going, if you have a sample mainstream curriculum worksheet to check against what you know they're actually doing. Whether there are more specific testing procedures in your area - you would need to talk to educators or home-schoolers in your area. Marg [/QUOTE]
