I am SO BAD about collecting assignments.

Ki came back from his bike ride, proudly exclaiming that now 6 people (strangers) in the neighborhood all know that he can't say the alphabet. (yes, Ki is 14. He sees no need to be able to say the letters in order. I think he on purpose block that skill because he thinks it is neat to say that he can't)
I told asked him; "BUT, what if you need to take a job as a secretary and you need to file papers??"
he told me if he ever needed to be a secretary, then he'd learn the alphabet, but he doubts he'll ever need that skill.
Me... I know that when/If Ki needs to- he will learn it. (and I needed to cheat and sing the song from start to finish to figure out what came next even in College)
So- now you know. I failed in teaching my kids the Alphabet song.

I love the idea of emailing them their assignments! Thanks for sharing.
I also love the emailing idea, and I often email something to my girls that I think they'll like to follow up on.
I love that you capitalize READ the bible.
Maybe you should have Ki alphabetize the apostles. :)
You know, there's all kinds of alphabet songs... maybe you could find a non-conventional one for him to learn, and then teach to the 6 people in the neighborhood. That way, he'll still feel like a rebel.
I think it is great the Ki likes to share his fun fact with the neighbors. He sounds like a charmer.
