No IF you take into account you are using it for a Ker :) I use both (I have 9 kids) and rotate in Kers as they get to that age. Keep it fun and make it lite. Don't expect mastery of material....as they will see it again many times before they finish schooling.

Beyond bothered. Trying Homeschool Planet and really liking it.
