Oakblossoms Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Just curious to see how it is going. I figured my oldest would do CC this upcoming year. But, we might be moving to a place where that isn't as plausible for him. He likes schedules and plans and not me looking over his shoulder. He learns by reading and hates hands on projects.

Sisyphus Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Tried sl 100. Didn't know it was revamped. Been out of the country for 4 years and apparently missed a whole heck of a lot with sl. :glare: It's not going well. Infantile book choices, bizarre discussion questions, blatant bias.same lame writing program, so that isn't a surprise, actually. Maybe the other cores are better...but I'll not stick around to see. Ds is crushed, he adored sl and was so excited to get back to it...but it's not the same, at all. I did some reading up on what happened with sl, wish I'd done that before ordering...

mims Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 We love, love Core 200 and 300. Great discussion questions and a lot of learning going on. The literature analysis is in their writing so if you choose to do other writing you have to at least discuss the writing assignments.

Candid Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'd also look at Tapestry of Grace. At the R level, there aren't really any hands on projects just lots of books. The schedule is weekly assignments which I think is appropriate for a high school student who needs to learn to break down a longer assignment into parts.

speedmom4 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 My oldest dd is doing Core 300 and loves it. There is a lot of meat in the readings. Core 100 was a flop here though. Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree about the writing assignments. To really get the value out of the literature you need to cover the writing assignments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
