I have one child who has an incredibly hard time spelling. A reading specialist suggested to focus just on copy work and dictation. I have seen some improvement. Still plugging away. She struggles with reading so that doesn't help.

if and when we would be moving to Naples. I wouldn't really know a sole there. Any insight on how to get hooked up with co-ops?

because it is so stinkin' expensive. Who can afford to send their kids to a private college these days putting themselves and the student in huge debt. Most fields don't start out at a level where that can be recovered very easily.

we will be using explorations educations course which has incredible labs for physical science.

If you are looking for an alternative. Ohio university has acourse they put out on dvd. It is quiet extensive. I tried to do a search but couldn't find it. You could possibly contact OU and see who carries it. I almost bought it for my daughter. It was only $139 and could be used for high school credit or college credit. I think the company who carried it was onesource. We opted instead to do an internship at our church. She worked there 10 hours a week to do editing and volunteered on the weekends during the service. I was a wonderful hands on experience which gave her the chance to see what doing this in the real world would be like. Just some thoughts on some other options.

No sense in recreating the wheel.

I would recommend this. I haven't use the econ yet.

Just ancients. It was more thorough than my other sources.

we use notgrass but I supplement with some historical fiction, famous men of..., World history maps/ geography, and short biographies.

For high school I switched over to TT for more thorough explainations and answers to problems. It really helped me feel more secure in math.

The course load is heavy and the books are challenging. I is more than fine for high school.

thanks for sharing about this

since it is too late for you go back and do things over, I would say this is one thing I like about TT. Their problems can be applied to real life situations that make sense. They can also walk you through the problem step by step.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I have some of theirs but haven't really used them. It was more of a resource for me. I guess.

Wow this is good to know. I'll have to check this out.

We used progym sources. Circe institute is pretty user friendly. We also used some of Selby's stuff. Some of the other programs were still working on theirs at that time.

I really didn't have time to take on precalc when my oldest took it. She used TT and did well on her ACT math score. I think it was just what she needed. She used the tutoring service a few times. They were still working out the bugs in the program at that time. It was a God send for us.
