If you\'ve ever said your kid is half a freshman or in 3rd-ish grade, you might be a homeschooler. But should we adhere to grade levels more strictly? Or ignore them entirely? How should we respond when asked about our kids\' grade levels, graduation requirements, and future plans? In this episode we\'ll discuss the pros and cons of labeling our kids with grade levels and expectations. I\'ll share what my surveyed homeschool readers had to say, and some suggestions for polite but confident responses.
