thanks :D

I have been using Rosetta Stone HS with dd for about a month and she likes it, but thinks it is moving too slow. She did have a semester of Bob Jones Spanish before starting this so that may be why? Has anyone else had this issue? I let her pass on to unit 2 b/c it seemed like overkill. I am wondering if I should switch to one of the other plans? Which one do you use? I was thinking of maybe trying the extended with reading intro? But I want her to have writing too? Maybe we are using it wrong? Do you find it repeats a lot? I know that it is very helpful in the beginning, but by week 7 or 8 it seemed too much? Is there some other setting maybe I haven't figured out? Thanks for any advice:001_smile:

what is the cost? I couldn't find it on the website.

oh good! I will order today then :001_smile:

thanks!

Not sure if this is the spot to post this? But please tell me this isn't true:confused: It said on Their website that orders could take up to 4 weeks for delivery.

thanks Melissa! That was my fear that the Abeka would be too dry. I will try the BJU I can always supplement if I need to.

Do you think the BJU geography is superior to the Abeka? The CS requires geography. I am open do do either BJ or Abeka. I have to buy the teacher books for grammar and vocab from abeka anyway. I have not considered continuing part time next year. That may be a good option for us.

thanks for sharing your daughters experience! I am going to give it one last try with the school. :001_smile: Then I may just use Barks? ETA: Abeka not barks...auto correct :/

oh! That makes sense! Thanks!

thanks Melissa and Crystal! I will go look at the Notgrass stuff now. It is kinda funny if they would except that and not MFW. Thanks so much for helping me out!

Thank you Crystal. I think you are right! I tried to print that out but my computer wouldn't let me. I will try again later. I appreciate the detailed information.

thanks! I will check it out. If it is an online school I don't think it would be a good fit. She is already doing 2 classes on the computer and she would do better if she just used the computer for research for her other classes. I know this seems crazy, but this school has people who come in and out of home schooling all the time. It really shouldn't be this hard. I may call the mother of a 10th grader who I know is HS'ing partial days. I really don't know her personally, but I need to get moving on curriculum. I really wonder what all these other people are using? I was so excited about homeschooling too. I am feeling a little defeated right now. I just need to set a plan in motion! :auto:

no, I haven't bought any of it yet. Just the online samples.

It is a private Christian school. She has attended since K5. They use a lot of Abeka in elem and JH. They get away from it a little in High School. I think only 2 classes use it. They use some Bob Jones, Glencoe etc. The school has not Approved the geography. I did not receive it till after our meeting and honestly I think I will have to supplement or buy another program. I am open to suggestions. Their main thing is assessment. They think MFW is great. She even said she knows I would do a great job with it, but they need documentation. She compared it to transferring credits in college. They are part of the ISHA (Illinois State High School Association) and need to have *documentation* to back it up. The 9th grades at the school will read Illiad and Oddessy for lit class this semester as well as Lord of the Flies and Romeo and Juliet I believe. It bums me out cause I know dd was looking forward to a curriculum like MFW. She said she is fine doing it the other way too.
