Next year will be my first year to HS as well. We are going to go with SL for Science, LA, and History...Saxon for Math. I decided on SL because of the structure.

I think that it is not transferable and cannot be resold. I read somewhere not to buy it used.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Will Kumon be enough for my DD math? Should I use other cirriculum as well?

Wow! So many abbreviations I feel like I am back in the military! The ones that I know are: WTM = Well Trained Mind BJU = Bob Jones University But what about... IEW, MCT, WWE? Hopefully it won't take long to learn the lingo.

I am going to HS my DD next year for the first time and need advice. She will be entering the 5th grade in the Fall. I have Math covered. I have Social Studies covered. I need some good suggestions on what to use for Science and English. For the most part I want her to be able to work on her own with assistance coming from me when needed and it needs to be portable - so not alot of heavy books. Also something that has a built in agenda would be helpful since it will be my first year. I have promised her that if this does not work that she can go back to public school after giving it atry. I think that she will love it and there will be no issues, but in case she doesn't I want to make sure that she is not behind her peers and can pick back up easily in a year. She has always been a "A" student, but the girl drama at her school is off the charts and she is stressed out all the time. I am hoping that this will be the solution. Thanks.
