K12 Review - Homeschool Curriculum
Curriculum By Subject:
Visitor Review: I have homeschooled for 4+ years. Was doing Charlotte Mason. Getting a bit burned out I decided to try K12 with our virtual school in Idaho. It seems like a great idea. Everything is laid out in front of you. The computer tells you what to do daily. Even what pages in the books for the assignments. That said...there is A LOT of work. You need to be at a certain % by a certain time of the year. We started 2nd semester and we have to do minimum 60% of the...

Curriculum By Subject:
Visitor K12 Review: I have been using K12 with my son for almost a whole year now. We live in NY, so it is not free to us (YET?), so the cost is something I want to consider for next year. For more than half the states in the US, there is a free public school option, though. We chose to do the independent courses of Language Arts, Math, History, and Science this year. You can have guided courses with certified teachers as well, although there is an additional cost to it....

Teaching Textbooks for Math - Homeschool Curriculum
Curriculum By Subject:
Visitor Review: Teaching Textbooks is THE most wonderful math program. My family started (3 children) with Singapore math which we did not enjoy at all. Two of my children had used it in public school so I thought it would be a good place to start home schooling. In our first year of home schooling, Singapore felt complicated and frustrating for the children as well as myself. We switched to Teaching Textbooks and we were all SO happy! Complete lectures, questions,...
