Had conferences with our teacher today. It has been so strange when the teacher seems totally happy. Even the mere word conference sends my child in to a fit of anxiety.
I explained to her that today’s conference would likely be much different than most, because since she was home with me I could honestly tell her that she was doing splendidly. She did seems to calm down a bit after that.
We have moments every once in a while. It hurts to realize how much anxiety she was carrying about school on a day to day basis. Again, I am so thankful we’ve found this program.
Hope all is well in your conferences too.

I just went to parent/teacher conferences today, so your post is so timely. Makes me happy to hear her anxiety lessened and that you are finding success with your program.
Yeah. It was so nice to have the teacher encourage us to let our daughter work ahead even more. That was really her only feedback. The rest was her asking how she could improve for us. (What??)
I love her!
That’s wonderful to hear! (And on a side note, I am amazed at the number of followers you have already. Wow!)
Thanks. I guess lots of people want to know about online school. 🙂
Ha, I just realized that my twitter followers are factored in the number you see. I really only have 6 blog followers! 🙂
