Physics: Apologia or Abeka....My new situation..What would you do?


Recommended Posts

Well, thought I had next year all figured out.....Had Apologia Physics purchased for oldest ds. And then today happened......Went to the used curriculum sale and saw one of the moms of a student that is in ds's honor society. She tells me that she is organizing a physics class for her son AND in addition to that, her friend, who by the way has her doctorate in physics and used to teach at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, is going to teach the class.:blink:What! Would my son want to participate with them?

 

 

BUT, they will use Abeka Physics....We have NEVER used any Abeka for science. We have used Apologia or BJU for science. Anyone have experience with Abeka? What would you do?

 

Would you just go with your original plan with the Apologia or go with the Abeka and the small lab class?

And guess what.....oldest ds can DRIVE HIMSELF!!!!

Blessings,

I would call that divine provision. :001_smile: I've only used Abeka for one class in all these years (the co-op teacher selected it). Oh, actually twice as I used the English waaaaay back when we started. But, everything I've seen from Abeka certainly seems solid. And if you like the instructor once you meet him/her, I would guess that s/he's comfortable with the text.

 

What a blessing!

I know this is an old post, but I am wondering if you can come back and comment on what you decided? If you did do the co-op,  did the teacher like the A Beka text? I'm trying to decide between BJU physics and A Beka Physics and would love some input.
