After my mother had to give me a hard time that she had questioned my 7th grade son about what grade he was in and got the answer, “Ummm…6th?”, I just knew that it was time to make my very first someecard.

After all of the likes and shares that it has had on Wednesday, I knew that, even though this wasn’t a typical post for The Homeschool Classroom, I had to share it on the blog as well:

So, what about your homeschoolers?  Do they have an answer when people ask what grade they’re in or do they go silent and look to you with wide eyes?

    Haha! I was just talking about this the other day with a group of homeschool moms. I have a daughter that is registered as an upcoming 6th grader but her curriculum next year will be a mix of 5th, 6th, and 7th grade materials. We always just say she is 6th-ish. =) Love the someecard by the way!

    I know the feeling. My kids will say whatever grade they would be for their age. I tell people they are in “Elementary” we don’t go by grade because each child is on different levels for different subjects.

    I saw your ecard yesterday and shared it with my friends! We don’t pay any attention to grade levels and when people ask I just tell them we homeschool. There are no grades in home school. 🙂

    Exactly! I always tell my daughter that mostly, people are just trying to figure out how old she is when they ask that question, and that she could answer with her age or that she is in K. *We* know that what she is doing is a little bit of K, a lot of first and second, and a little third, but we don’t have to give a long-winded answer like that. Usually she says we homeschool, or gives me that look!

    Lol, this is so true:) Hahaha I usually get the wide eyed look, and think… um what grade are they “in” again?? And it makes me feel like a slightly bad parent for not knowing… for like a second;) My Daughter has been doing college level work since she was in 8th grade. She is supposed to be in 11th grade this upcoming year, lol, the only reason I know is because I had to look it up!

    My kids know the grade they would be in by age so that they can answer people. I want them to be able to engage in these types of conversations because they come up so often. We don’t have to explain our philosophy to everyone who asks nor do I want any of us to stand there awkwardly not answering. It works well for us.
