Melissa B Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I received a Hewitt Homeschooling catalog today. I'm not sure what put me on their mailing list, but I couldn't resist reading through it. :) They offer two Honors US history programs. One uses Nation of Nations (2 volumes) and the other uses C. Carson's A Basic History of the United States (6 volumes.) I couldn't find much information on these two book series searching the old posts and don't know anything about either set. So, if you've used them (with or without the Hewitt syllabus) what did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 You may wish to join the Hewitt_Homeschooling Yahoo group. I don't feel comfortable copying from one group to another, but you should read Post # 1462 in which the Hewitt representative gives her comments on the four different Hewitt US History programs.

Melissa B Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Thanks Kareni! I didn't even think about looking for a yahoo group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've heard that Carson is boring, see what others say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolanda in Mass Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Oh, how I wish Carson was more interesting, but, alas, he's not. I've tried 2 or 3 times to use his books with both my boys and he's just way too dry. The syllabus for the Hewitt history course is useful for any course and it's only $6, but it uses Carson, and that's the problem. Wish I could recommend them. Maybe someone has had better luck with them, but we have not. Wanna' buy mine? I have all of them and the teacher's guide (which doesn't provide any answers - grrr).

MamaT Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Just one more voice to say the Carson is drying and boring. I also have them all. I've tried to use them twice and we just couldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
