Well its actually my moms friend. Her X-Daughter-in-Law is homeschooling her two grandchildern. Has been for quite a while now. The daughter is 7 and the son is 5.
My moms friend took her other grandchildern (9 and 12) to visit their cousins one day was visiting and what not left about five or so hours later. On the way back home the 12 year old says "G-ma, I don't think 'Abby' can read" She asked why she thought that and she says "Well she came up to me and asked what book I wanted to read and I said go over and get Spot(or something like that) it was laying in plain sight with two other books with it and she could not figure out the book title"
When they got home my moms friend called to ask about it. "Abby" anwsered the phone and she asked "Abby has mommy been teaching you everyday?" She said no, that mommy has been taking them to her boyfriends house to play with some kids.
Two weeks later they went over for another visit and she was able to get "Abby" alone to ask her some things like words, adding simple things like 1+2 etc. and she could not do it. She said mommy has not taught her that yet.
I was wondering, when your homeschooling, is their certin requirements that need to be met? Is there anyone that checks on the progress of homeschooled childern? What (if anything) could my moms friend do?
