I couldn't keep my homeschool running and organized and on track without checklists for me as the teacher and checklists for each student being homeschooled, but that doesn't mean I haven't made mistakes along the way! There are wrong ways to use checklists and bad ways to depend on them. Here are the major mistakes I've made while homeschooling with checklists so that you don't have to!
1. Making all the homeschool checklists up front at the beginning of the school year.
2. Start creating new homeschool checklists from scratch every week.
3. Using shorthand and shortcuts on the checklists while homeschooling
4. Letting student checklists roam free and loose - checklists need a home!
5. Not looking at each kids' checklists - if mom doesn't look at them, neither will the kids.
