Keeping
good records is essential not only to comply with state
law but also to keep track of what your child has learned.
Oklahoma law requires that you keep tract of 180 days
of school in a log book.
I
also strongly recommend that you keep a portfolio for each
child. A portfolio is a much better record of your child's
learning than grades. (Read what teachers are thinking
about GRADES.)
You
may need any or all of these records for college admissions,
job applications, and/or problems with Department of Human
Services. Another good reason to keep them is so that you
can go back and see that you actually have accomplished
something.
