  1. No seatbelts, inexperienced driver does not equal "freak accident" sorry for the loss though
  2. I totally agree. My teenagers are not allowed to be driven with other teenagers. ONly me, their father or grown adults. What about seatbelts? Were they wearing any??
  3. The LifePacs are for everything. I do add in extra writing 3 days a week and Wordly Wise 3 days a week. LLATL just seems too weak IMO. I know it builds upon itself, but my dd has had most of what is in the Tan in 3rd grade public school She needs to be challenged. So I think i'll stick with LifePacs this year and maybe move on to BJU next year for 8th.
  4. Okay, I have both of these curriculums for my 7th grader. I cannot afford anything else, I am finding both have pros and cons. LLATL seems WAY too easy, in fact it's all review and I have looked thru the whole book. Not sure I like the format either. LifePacs seem like a lot of busy work but I think I can make them work this year. Wish it had more writing instruction but I have not looked thru each lifepac yet. So, which would you choose? Will I ruin my child if I use LifePacs? I have read so many negative comments about them. I would like to stick with them thru highschool if we like them, just so hard to decide
  5. This is for 7th grade: WriteSource book 7 Wordly Wise Sequential Spelling Core Skills Language Arts grade 7 Lots of reading with some PP guides and free lit guides How does this look to you?
  6. I spent a lot of time at the WS website last night. I listened to Dave Marks lecture and am so intriqued by these products. Have any of you used Writing AND Reading Strands together successfully? Is the Reading Strands book basically a book list? Please tell me about using these together
  7. Do you feel it's doable to do 2 vol. in 11th grade without feeling rushed?
  8. Problem is...I don't know what I really want! LOL I cannot find anything we like, so at this point I will just use what I have,combine them both and research again for next year.
  9. Thanks, I was considering using LLATL alone, adding in more books and using Easy Grammar. That was one of my options. I just have both curriculums which I don't want to "waste" LOL Honestly, LifePacs looks very boring. I think we'd both get burned out quickly. I "could" just go thru them however and use the grammar portions. I have a lot to do over the weekend, tweeking both curriculums! I just wish I LOVED and was satisfied with one or the other!
  10. Thanks. I do have the newest WTM book, so the section on how to dicuss lit in there,in that book? Any suggestions on how to blend to two? Just look at both thoroughly and choose what I feel are most important? That seems daunting! What do you feel is most important in LLATL to not leave out? UGH! I wish there was an easier way!
  11. Yes! All of the above, which Lifepacs and LLATL seem to cover, however one seems so much easier than the other. And the "other" seems rather boring. But I guess school sometimes has to be boring right? At least ONE subject. Lifepacs seems more challenging and better overall, but I just cannot make up my mind
