Wow! I just want to thank everyone for their insight. I really appreciate how much information you are able to offer. I suppose that comes with experience!
Just to clarify - when you speak of LOF, are you talking about Life of Fred? As I recall from The Well-Trained Mind, Life of Fred is recommended as a supplement to your primary math curriculum. I was actually planning to begin the Life of Fred series on a weekly basis (or more or less as is reasonable) to go along with the Saxon program.
I appreciate that Right Start has helped tremendously with my wiggly worms. However, I have noticed that as the children grow older, and more mature, wiggly worm is not as much an issue. They are building their stamina to sit and focus. According to The Well-Trained Mind (TWTM?), Saxon is a very thorough program and will allow for more advanced math courses later in high school if that is what the student (and mother) decides to do. Whereas, I am not really sure Right Start will be able to offer this path. So this is the thinking behind my plan.
I really love that there is this community in which to share ideas and opinions. :thumbup:
