I was looking at the Thread were members post their winners for curriculum. Many did not like Wordly Wise. I was planning on using it for the first time this year with my 6th grader. Can you give me some feedback...likes and dislikes?
Thanks

My DS is in 6th gade. He's done Shurley 2 (I think) 3, 4, 5. We skipped writing assignments this past year. Decided not to do Shurley 6. DS is great always does excellent on the weekly tests. However, this doesn't carry over into his deveryday writing. Oh and he absolutely hates writing.
This year I already plan on using
Writing: Wordsmith Apprentice
Grammar: Editor in Chief Software
Vocab: English from the Roots Up and Wordly Wise (maybe)
Okay....I am also thinking about using Easy Grammar/Daily Grams. Do you think this is necessary or would be too much. and If I use it should I use EG/DG 6 or 7plus?

I have seen a few people who didn't like wordly wise. I plan on using this for the first time with my 6th grader. What don't you like about it?

Wheres the best place to find out more about the VP Scholars program

You should be able to find MUS used for a great price and be able to sell it again after you use it.

ugh. this thread isn't helping me any. i've pulled away from mfw this year. why? who knows...
This has happened to me before. I'll decide to make a switch or choose a certain curriculum then later on down the line I ask "Now why did I decide to do this?" I keep saying I am going to start writing my reasoning down, so that I can go back to it."

No problem. You'll be alright :)
I was just wondering: how did the Lord show you which curriculum to use? Just curious. I'm trying to listen better these days. Thanks.
Me too! I research curriculum and pray that the Lord shows me which one to use...there are times when I am not sure and just purchase something b/c I have to make a decision.....learning to be still until I hear from him, in this area as well as others.

Another thing I had questions about is the math games. What are they like? Would my 5th grader be bored playing too? If we could incorporate math games into our regular game playing (which we all love), maybe it would work.
We did RS level A this year with 4/5yo. My 5th grader played the math games. He had fun right along with him, even though they were super easy for him. I'd use the games no matter what curriculum you use.

Shepherding a Childs Heart by Tedd Tripp is my favorite.
Grace-Based Parenging by Tim Kimmell is my next book to read

These two books are well worth reading.

Want To Start HSing but Husband is NOT on Board...advice
in K-8 Curriculum Board

I read through some of the posts but not all. It sounds like your husbands concern is what if it doesn't work. I would say come up with a plan..schedule. Especially consider curriculum choice that works best for the family where you are right now.
As the year progresses and it get challenging consider just make sure you don't drop the ball on the 3 r's
Worse case scenario, it's too much for you and they have to go back to PS I seriously doubt they will be behind.
Just come up with a plan for how you will manage it all. Another plan for how you will adjust when new baby comes along.
