  1. Okay. So I didn't want to hijack the thread about finding a good science program, but I feel that I have the same problem with finding a good history program. I have yet to find a good Christian history program that didn't put bias into it. My issues with history programs that I've used so far are: 1. Incorrect historical information. We had this happen when we read Calvert's 3rd grade history. It was about Ulysses S Grant and Robert E Lee. The page we read made it sound like Robert E Lee was some sort of good guy when in fact in history he was anything but. Of course in third grade you don't want to get into graphic stuff but don't paint the man as a saint either because that wasn't the truth. It also seemed biased against the north making it seem that the north was bad. My husband ( the history buff) picked up on that. 2. To much bias. Programs like BJU and Abeka like to paint the Catholics as being evil. They tend to forget that this was the way it was then. Everyone was Catholic. There weren't any Baptists, or Lutherns or, Methodists, any other religion to that. Everyone was just Catholic during the Dark AGes. Middle Ages, etc until Martin Luther disagreed with the selling of indulgences by the priests. In all actuality he didn't want to start a new religion or stray from Catholisism in general. He just wanted to point out the things that were wrong with the church in hopes in fixing them( Luther's 95 These)or making wrongs right within the church. So to sit and either ignore the fact that people were Catholic at one time in history in Europe ,or to say that the Catholics were evil and Luther was a Savior of some sort is wrong as well. I guess that would go into incorrect information as well. 3. The book is so dry it reduces your children to tears. Calvert (except grade 4) is one of them. My girls aren't really enjoying K12 either. I see they just kind of do it. And the work is not very age appropriate. The 6th grade history has them outlining and writing persusasive essays and such about topics that are beyond their level of thinking. With my daughters I see them just plugging in the information and it doesn't mean much to them. I have not attempted CLE's history as it looks REALLY dry. 4. Are not current. We were skimming Abeka's upper level history at a conference last year and found that their highest history book stopped with Bill Clinton. Wow! That is a huge chunk of history that our children are missing out on if that is far as they go. 5. The history bounces around. BJU seems to do this with the elementary grades. They start from the beginning with American History but you really need to start from the beginning. If you haven't studied American History you literally need to start with their 1st grade book to start from the beginning. If you had a 5th grader who hasn't started American history yet and you start their 5th grade history then your missing out on everything else that was talked about in 1st. 2nd , 3rd , and 4th grades. I would think that history then wouldn't make a whole lot of sense in that case. I know history can be subjective but really. I did like Homeschool in the Woods for the American history but it only goes so far( see problem 4) and I dont think my daughter had gotten a whole lot out of the history even though we did the lapbook. Today ( a year later) she doesn't remember even doing much of it! Yikes. We did go at a fast pace though so that could of been the problem too.
  2. I realize that most history textbooks are written with a slant of nationalism towards whatever country the book is published in. (I read this really awesome book that went through snippets of history books from other countries detailing America's history...that was eye opening! Wish I could think of the name..but I digress...) Anyway, I am looking for a U.S. History book (age 10-adult is fine) that is a bit less biased and more "just the facts, ma'am". I would prefer a more secular U.S. History, but can deal with Christian content if it isn't overmuch. I liked the format of Hakims History of US and like it to a point, just not sure I want to pay the money for what I feel is a bit too biased. Her introduction seems really slanted to a very nationalistic point. Is the whole book like that? Could anyone tell me? Am I looking for a needle in a haystack? Probably. What do you use for US History? Thanks,
