Lorena got her College Algebra test score back last night. She is on track to get through the class just fine. She only has to get a passing grade on the final and she will be able to move on to her last math class this fall. Even though this is not her favorite subject, she has worked very hard and I am proud of her. Kelly and Christian continue to finish up their final projects. Christian finished his research report for the year yesterday. Kelly should finish hers today. I will put them up on the internet in PDF format as soon as they are both finished. I sprayed the lawn with what is supposed to be a really good clover killer last night. Now we are supposed to have several days of hot weather her in the mid-valley. We will see if the stuff really works. I will have to put it down one more time in about a week. I am looking forward to working on the lawn this coming, three day, Memorial Day weekend.
Update: A very homeschool friendly was just bill passed in the Oregon State House of Representatives. It is a bill that, if it ever gets signed into law by hour homeschool-phobic governor, Ted Kulongoski, will reduce the requirements imposed on homeschoolers by our the State of Oregon. Currently, homeschoolers have to notify the Educational Services District (ESD) that they have removed their child from the public school for the purpose of homeschooling, then turn the results of standardized tests into the ESD four times over the course of the child’s education. The new bill would keep the notification requirement, but remove the requirement to turn in the test results.
