I was homeschooled to grade 3, and just because my parents didn't give me tests or grades, it absolutely mattered.
I had to correctly solve, both verbally and in writing, enough questions at the end of the current chapter of the textbook, to a standard that satisfied them. For every subject of study. Every single day.
