Memoria Press History Sets?

[historymatters]

Has anyone here used Memoria Press' new High school history sets? I need opinions. Pros; Cons?

 

I need something more laid out for me.I'm very stressed right now. I have Stobaugh's History sets, but I'm not moved. I like a lot about it, but it seems like a supplement to me, not like a full set of history learning.

 

I like the first-person speechs, essays, etc. from Ambleside Online, but I don't know if I could still incorporate those in some how. If the reading and workbook work is too time consuming, then I won't be able to incorporate those.

 

I'm having a similar struggle for World. MP has a World one but only from 1600+

Then there's the Penguin World History or SWB Histories (I like those, but again, having issue with amount of reading so no time to read other materials)

 

My brain is really jumbled..

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

They focus on mostly modern history because they've covered ancient and middle ages exhaustively in the lower grades. They spread out their history over two years because they also have a classical and Christian thread going at the same time (including things like Cicero). I think you could use their history packs a year at a time stand alone, though.

 

They themselves do not think there is enough writing in the history, but that would be easy enough to add.
