I guess I'm more of a lazy tweaker. I like the option of not doing something or putting in something better, but prefer not to have to start from scratch. I will create my own if what I want doesn't currently exist. But from the reviews given, MFW sounds like exactly what I want. Elizabeth - thanks for you rec on Nothing New Press. I've not seen this before and it looks interesting. I will admit that at this stage in my life, I think ALL those choices would overwhelm me. But it might be nice as a handy list for additional tweakiness. :D

Well since you said that you also wanted reviews for levels 7/6 & above, I'll tell you our experience. We've used Saxon most of our HS journey. My daughter is currently working through ALG 1. I'm not a big fan of the DIVE cd's. We used them, but there always seemed to be a problem she didn't understand and when I'd pull out the solution manual, I couldn't understand it either. So IMO, the Dive cd's are just okay. Usable but not optimal. For a brief time, I considered TT and even had my dd look it over. She spent a few minutes looking it over and told me that she did NOT want to switch. She didn't like the way TT was laid out. Now...fastforward to ALG 1. We are using the Saxon Teacher CD's (CBD carries) and these are WONDERFUL!!!!! It is like having your very own private tutor and worth every single penny. I don't know if Saxon plans on going back into 7/6 and Alg 1/2 and making CD's for these, but I am sure hoping they do for my next three students.

That cracked me up! I nearly choked on my cup of coffee :lol: I really like the look of MFW and if what CC says is true about using Egermier's and SOTW, then that pretty much makes my decision for me. I am trying to eliminate the whole disjointed feeling with Bible & history. I've looked at MOH, TG, Biblioplan and they are just more than I can even imagine being able to accomplish. I appreciate your replies!!

Specifically, I'm looking at CTG and the more I look at it, I'm wondering if it is indeed a good fit for us. I'm a person that tends to tweak, substitute, & drop things on a SL schedule. So is the CTG manual worth owning if I will basically tear it apart anyways? I would use the manual for the activities and booklist but then I wonder if there are enough good ideas to justify the cost of the TM? The weekly schedule would most likely not be used much if at all. I've poured over Paula's site and am really interested in combining Bible and SOTW 1 together. I'm leaning toward this, however I don't want to have to pull it all together myself if MFW has done a better job. Looking forward to your responses :)
