  1. Thanks for the suggestion. The Kinetic Books software looks good and reasonably priced, and I like having a printed textbook option available also.
  2. Are there any CD-ROM (or DVD) based math courses people recommend for pre-algebra and beyond? I afterschool my son with Singapore Math, currently using book 5A. He enjoyed the Descartes Cove math software and also Newton's Quest. We have one PC with an internet connection, and one without, that I let him use unsupervised, and I have found that if install academic software, he usually works on it when the mood strikes him.
  3. Hello, I'm new to the board. I've read the WTM book, and my wife and I "afterschool" my children. Classical education according to the WTM emphasizes literature that has stood the test of time, and I think the article below explains why parents should be wary of modern "young adult literature". http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/books/review/Just-t.html Julie Just April 1, 2010 ... Judging from The New York Times children’s best-seller list and librarian-approved selections like the annual “Best Books for Young Adults,†the bad parent is now enjoying something of a heyday. It would be hard to come up with an exact figure from the thousands of Y.A. novels published every year, but what’s striking is that some of the most sharply written and critically praised works reliably feature a mopey, inept, distracted or ready-for-rehab parent, suggesting that this has become a particularly resonant figure.
