kpupg Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Regarding keeping a high school student's work for a portfolio, or just for records -- tests, papers, homework, whatnot -- I'm wondering how you all out there handle this. Does the student keep the files or do you, mom/teacher, keep it? I've been trying to train my ds14 to keep his own files/binders -- at this point, just putting all papers into a binder -- but it is not going well. We have a paper snowstorm throughout the house. I'm afraid things will get lost that we'll regret later, so I'm wondering whether I should just be doing this. But self-management is a skill I am trying to encourage, too. Suggestions?

TravelingChris Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have kept it. They kept papers fr a while but usually give me things for the folders about once a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inactive Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I keep the portfolio/records -- my daughter hands her work in weekly and I file it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I kept things like awards and programs for performances (these came in handy come college application time). My daughter kept papers, etc. When high school began, I did tell her to keep all essay type papers as I envisioned that those might come in handy for college. They did -- one of her papers she rewrote as a college application essay. Other papers she submitted as part of a portfolio that a couple of her colleges required (or encouraged) homeschoolers to submit.

kpupg Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thank you all. I guess I will just take this responsibility back from ds. It will be a relief for me to do it "right" and one less nagging task :-) Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
