prairiewindmomma Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 This is my fourth attempt at utilizing the dvds I bought years ago. I find listening to Andrew Pudewa painful. Is it worth it? I admit I'm motivated only by guilt at this point...I paid $$$ for this resource! Keep going or give up forever??!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin'sMom Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I find AP insufferable, myself. I would pay NOT to have to listen to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm finding his asides--like the fact that some people are noun or verb people and that I shouldn't necessarily guide my child in their choice of words when outlining helpful...but I am running out of kettle corn popcorn and other incentives to keep going. Those who have made it through....are there especially good sections I should hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Maybe your reward for getting through them all should be selling them and doing something else with the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have watched it several times. I find myself zoning out sometimes, despite the fact that I do like him. However, my kids love him, and they always want to watch with me. I always laugh in the section when he admonishes us not to try to teach everything to our kids at once, like he is doing to us in the seminar, because my kids are right there watching it with me. They find that funny too, and it is a sort of incentive to keep watching (they feel like little grown-ups, I guess). So maybe make your 6th grader some kettle corn and lemonade! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry no advice. I love Andrew Pudewa and enjoy watching/listening to him. But if you don't then maybe it's not the thing for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrips Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I like him; have even seen him at conferences and enjoyed him. But TWSS does need to be broken up over a good period of time. I watched it according to the SWI schedule, to give me a heads up on what he planned to teach to the kids. I liked having the teachers part under my belt to better understand how to handle the SWI lessons. So if you're trying to do too much, that could be it. Or else it just might not be your style. My kids love Pudewa. The boys are finally enjoying writing and doing really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Women Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If you have tried it 4 times, I'm thinking it's not the thing for you. (Personally, I love AP, but you don't.) You've given it a good try, a bunch of them, in fact. You can recoup some of your investment reselling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
