It's hard to find reviews. I found a few that were paid reviews and that's it. (originally posted on the high school board, but since it only has pre-algebra and algebra 1 out, it probably should have been here)

Thank you for all the suggestions! I went with Tree of Life. My daughter submits her work and they grade it and give feed back. I'm really happy with out decision.

I'm mostly considering their LA for highschool, using only the lit anddoing my own composition. Any thoughts on that?

When are you switching? I'm planning on using Shormann for my STEM kid. But, I don't think Algebra 2 will be released til spring. It goes through Calculus 2 when it's complete.

Yes. I am in love with the TM's for their discussion questions and answers. Though, it's mostly English I really want to change. I just found out there's no help in grading writing assignments or literature. Those are the two things I'm struggling with most. I'm kinda looking for an English that's online or I can submit for grading would be ideal. But, I'll be happy with something like SL that has good questions and answers, but I also need something to help me grade their compositions.

I've never used anything but a TM that requires no planning from me. Seems a little daunting.

I'm looking to do something new for highschool. I'm not loving HOD. Slightly leaning towards SL, only because of their TM and student guides. I'm almost certain I don't want MFW. Anything else good? I definitely want a good TM that has lots of discussion questions and answers. Bonus if they have separate teacher and student guides. What are you using?

Oh my gosh. ..now they want DIVE. I'm going to cry. How do I choose? My hesitation with DIVE is, how do they cram 2 years of Apologia in 1 year of DIVE? Is DIVE over the top thorougo and insanely hard? Or does it just not cover everything? I hear DIVE is boring. But I hear it has better labs. Ahhh! How do I choose?

Which science and math do you recommend Debbie? I too was looking at DIVE, but went over DIVE and Apologia with the kids. Both really want Apologia. My oldest doesn't know what she wants to do, but maybe something with animals. My 2nd wants into robotics.

Could you do it online through the province? If that's an option for you.

You might want to checkout their FB group. I've bought it, but won't start til Sept.

I'd BUY the videos for BJU, but, I can't really afford to subscribe over and over.

Thanks! I think I still like DIVE best and they like Apologia. My oldest wants no video and my 2nd wants a teacher to look at, not just a voice.

Algebra 1. I think for my oldest that I'm looking most t right now, TT will fit best.

May I jump in and ask if you've enjoyed DIVE?

I'm looking at either Foersters or TT. Every part of me wants to do TT. But, I'm wondering if I should be doing Foersters instead. I know I want video and prefer video solution. I'm fine with keep grades myself. But, not having to is bonus. Plus, I like how TT is interactive, checking kids understand as they go. I can't seem to find a solid answer on if TT's updates have brought them up far enough to be ok for a STEM kid. Any advice?

If i go with DIVE, I'll be using BJU texts. If I go with Apologia, I'll be using their notebooks. I don't want to do use Apologia with DIVE. I think Apologia may be more enjoyable than DIVE. I think DIVE may be too intense and suck the love of science right out of them. I think Apologia may be easier for them and fit our schedule better. I am concerned that it may not be enough. My son is robotics/engineer minded. My daughter will likely enter some form of animal studies. DIVE looks interesting to me, but reviews say it's dry. I have no idea whice to use. I use HOD, but, I dot think their science is enough. I'm pretty sure I want wither Apologia or DIVE and I can't make the choice.

Just wanting to follow this . I only glanced at it at the convention. Wish I looked more .

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know .

I'm wondering if a child does Algebra 1 through Precalc, if everything needed is covered or if it is still lacking anything. Isn't the amount of practice needed individual to each child? Some kids probably need very little, where others need a ton.

What about ACE? Even if that's not the program yiu stick with, it's got a test online where it'll find gaps. You do those PACES to catch up.

IDK about the 2nd part. But, we're going to use e learning because it grates it and keeps a grade book.

I'm getting ready to use it in Sept. Try the FB group or HOD forum for reviews.
