Congratulations to the Head Girl who just called to tell us she PASSED her Western Civilization CLEP test for a sweet three college credits.
She had intended to take the Macroeconomics test, but after doing the preview test, decided she should wait and take a course in Macroeconomics, and so she switched her CLEP schedule to Western Civ last week.
That’s right- she decided about a week ago to take the Western Civ CLEP, scheduled it during midterms for her regular courses, took the test today and now has those three credits. We are pleased.
Seconds after hanging up the phone with the Head Girl, the Head Grandmother, better known around here as Granny Tea, called, so the Headmistress was able to be, well, the Head Reteller of this fine bit of news.
Granny Tea said that since public school teachers get a bonus when their students do well, she thought the Headmistress ought to get a bonus for having successfully homeschooled the Head Girl from first grade through high school and enabling her to be the sort of student she is. The Headmistress likes the way Granny Tea thinks.
Dare we say that like the Head Girl, she has a good head on her shoulders? We think we do.
We shall now close so that the Headmistress can go dance a joyful celebratory jig.

Congratulations, Head Girl! Yes, Headmistress, you deserve a teacher’s bonus. Aren’t CLEP tests wonderful? I will be interested in seeing how well our oldest will do one day in the next year or two, when his turn to CLEP out of things comes along.
I remember taking CLEP tests (and passing!)…I feel old :-, but I still love learning!
Smiling with you, Head Girl and Headmistress. That’s terrific!
You so totally rock, squirt! (hoping you saw Finding Nemo…)
The Queen is SO amused.
