Scuff Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm debating between MFW and TOG. Searching through old threads I found this said about TOG: "TOG emphasizes critical thinking and weighs it against Scripture. It suits our family perfectly in how we want to direct and teach our children." How does MFW handle this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelissaMinNC Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 This is a good question, which I am not qualified to answer. (I'm too new to MFW and in too much pain atm.) I will try to get my thoughts together and tell you what I think. In the meantime, I hope one of the MFW vets will chime in here. :) Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Both require the teacher to discuss with their students and bring about the critical thinking ;) (I know that that does not help decide between the two) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbackmama Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 What level are you thinking about? The reason I ask is because TOG won't guide you in that in any way until the dialectic level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleBears Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I know MFW has it's own forum where they are happy to answer these types of questions. I use MFW and I generally do the probing with my own questions. When reading the material, the subjects just seem to come up in quite a natural way. As far a curr differences go, I do know that TOG involves weekly planning and MFW is more open and go. I am also new to MFW- Hopefully you'll hear from some veterans! HTHs!

Scuff Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Mine are upper grammar, almost dialectic & lower grammar, but I'm hoping to stick with whatever we choose, so i'm looking at high school too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
