It's easy to tell if your kid is learning. He just doesn't seem as dumb as before.
I homeschooled but I had my children enrolled in a satilite school. The school always sent a standardize test at the end of every year. The kids took it and I sent it back to be scored. That was one way I charted their progress. But I could tell when they were progressing or if they were stuck on something. If they were stuck we went back and did it till they got it.

All,
I don't know how you-all homeschool. I would not have the time to homeschool my son and be out on internet boards. My 14 year old son has attained the following: math: finished Saxon Calculus, Science: Biology, Chemistry and Physics(Saxon), Logic: Informal and Formal, Computer Programming: VB, MS Access, C++, Java, (He writes his own games), History, Economics, Literature and English. From what I have reviewed of his work, he's smarter than most college graduates. When he was 12 he scored a 1360 on the SATs.
And yes he's homeschooled --not by me-- but his mom. When I send her these posts to her, she does not have time to read them. How do you all do it? I wonder sometimes whether the people who do it well are the ones that have time to talk about it. I know I cannot homeschool.
Faites ce que nous disons, et ne faites pas ce que nous faisons.
