regentrude Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I save major essays, research papers, tests in math and science, and any lab notebooks in case there is a question about our science lab. So far didn't need any of this. But better to have and not need than to need and not have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Regentrude...I need to purge a large amount of stuff...how did you save them? Did you do a portfolio? Three ring binder. With DD, I kept a 1 in binder per year. With DS, for high school I have two 1 in binders total. They also have stuff from their dual enrollment courses at university. I kept the syllabi; those may be needed if they want to transfer the credit. But they can be in electronic form. The kids have all their papers for their classes in electronic form; I don't keep paper copies. Beyond what *I* keep, they can choose to keep whatever they want. Both kept their math and science notebooks/binders. I will make them go through it when they move out for good.

clementine Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have a rubbermaid-like file box for each kiddo - with file folders for each subject in each grade level. I went through the same dilemma. I saved pretty much everything - photocopies of cover and table of contents of texts, actual workbooks, daily work, tests, essays, and even notebooks used for note-taking. This year for my oldest (she is a college sophomore), I tossed all but her tests, essays, and textbook copies. I have no idea why I'm even keeping that much - it feels wrong to toss it out after all of the work I/we put into it, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've never been asked for anything. I have a notebook for high school that I track volunteer work, awards, grades, etc. I keep all syllabus from outside classes. I keep all papers on my computer and might print out a sample. I keep any transcripts from outside providers. I have notebooks of math, labs, etc, but it's mostly just thrown into a pile. Make sure you have a list of books, authors, etc before you get rid of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
