You will need to keep track of the academic calendar and what courses your children need to cover, when they need to study for specific tests, what year to take those tests, and what specific tests they should take.My husband works as a project manager. He doesn’t actually build the building, but...

How did you find balance? How do we teach, plan, grade, buy, read, yahoo groups, go to conventions, visit colleges, do transcripts, apply...
