Hi there.....I am really in need of some advice. Can yall please tell me what should I do for my son's girlfriend. She has started homeschooling with us. My son graduated last year and my daughter is only in 6th grade. This young lady is extremely smart but comes from a rough home and had to pull from school because of health issues (juvenile diabetes) she has missed so much school. I really need an Algebra 2 that will help her and I. My son did Algebra but we didn't do Algebra 2. I pretty much had to reteach myself Algebra because I was out of school for a while and forgotten most of it. But now Algebra 2 wow. So as I said does anyone know of any thing that would help us in any way. Thanks so much..... Karen:)

I am looking for a good American Literature book for an 11th grader. Any suggestions? Does anyone have any for sale? Thank Karen

Thanks so much for replying. That helps me alot. Karen

My son needs to take an American Government class, would this be considered Economics/Free Enterprise/Civics? I am confused as to what would work for the credit and what do you all use for this. Any advice would be well appreciated. Thanks so much Karen

We are getting ready to begin our school year....my daughter wants to do Apologia Zoology 2 Swimming Creatures. She is very much a hands on type child. We used ACE last year and she totally was turned off by it. It was all read then answer questions and so on. She was very bored. So my question is....if we are doing the Zoology 2, what is the best place to buy the lab kits from? This is my first year with Apologia, but I have heard very good things about it, so we want to give it a try. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out. Karen

I would like to hear what others have to say about this too. I am switching math's this year and was wondering if it's worth printing the books or ordering an already printed book. Karen

Theres a mutiplication rock CD that really works well.

I went from paying like $500 for both kids to much less because I didn't just stick to one curriculum. I found it was better to find something that fits the kids for each subject and it was less expensive too.:D

Congrats!!!! We are pretty much finished but will continue math and reading comprehension over summer.....just a little .......:D

We were using ACE in 4th grade, my daugther was very bored with it, then we switched to LIfepacs, she didn't like that either. I printed out some MM and looking at MEP for 5th grade. Not sure where to start though. Karen

Thanks for the info....I love the cookie advice too. That will be a great help for her understanding. Karen

What grade should I look at in MEP if my daughter just turned 10 and just finished 4th grade? Thanks Karen

Reading all of these makes me nervous to start negatives with my daughter. What grade does negative numbers begin? Thanks Karen

I just printed out the fractions 1 and 2 and decimals in color. It wasn't that much color though. Karen

I ordered some ps books and after actually having them and looking at them I am going with something else. My daughter did not seem interested in them at all. Karen

Hi there. We are across the river from Baton Rouge about 30 miles and about same distance from Morgan City. Anyone close? Karen

To be honest, I wasn't even thinking about preparing for high school. I think I was just worried about making sure she's getting everything she needs without being bored. But preparing her for high school would really be great. Any advice would help me. I am also worried about science too. Thanks so much.. Karen

I have heard about these fairs but do not know where to look for them, how would I go about finding one? I'm in Louisiana..... Thanks

I am planning my 5th grade daughters schedule for next year and am not sure about Social Studies and Science. We did ACE this year and she was bored. Can you all tell me what your doing or did for 5th grade. I want to make sure I am giving her what she needs. Thanks so much. Karen

I have looked at this website and really like it. Has anyone used this site before? I have a question about the math section, there is several as in Math 1, Math 2, Math 3. There is also mathe called Liberal Arts Math. Can anyone tell me what ages these are for? I understand the pre-algebra section and algebra. There is also something called algebra 1a and algebra 1b. Would you think it was for someone to break algebra into 2 years? Also would the Liberal Arts Math be a complete review for all of the maths? I know these are lots of questions, but I was looking for a complete review for my son that will be in 12th grade this coming year. He is not going to college and really does not need another math but I want to make sure he knows everything he should know by giving him a year of total review. Thanks in advance for all of your help. Karen

Can someone tell me the difference between civics and free enterprise? My son needs a half credit of each next year . I found some American Government books. In your opinion would that cover both of these subjects? Thanks to all, Karen

What is WWE and FLL, i'm so lost with all the abreviations

I am looking for a language arts for my son next year. He needs to review his grammar and I was thinking of Easy Grammar Plus. Do you think that would be a good way to go with him. He is not strong in that area and I want him to do a good review and enhance his grammar. Any ideas? Thanks Karen

Has anyone used Climbing to Good English series? I am interested in using it for my 5th grader next year, any reviews or comparisons to what everyone uses would really help. Also, I am looking for an English program to use for my 12 grade son next year. I am mainly looking for a review with his grammar and things like that. I was thinking about Easy Grammar Plus, or Easy Grammar Ultimate Series. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Karen

She is doing the fourth grade books and some of the things are new and she learns them but theres so much review. I am not understanding the spiral approach and mastery. I was told the spiral goes over new topics and in each book it adds to it as well as reviews everything else. Well thats what happens in ACE and Lifepacs. I was also told in a mastery program you learn a concept and practice it till you understand. Am I wrong about this? Some of these really confuse me. Please help me understand better, Karen
