HomeAgain Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I went and looked at it and it didn't excite me. LOL That doesn't mean it's a bad set up, but that we have bad flashbacks whenever we see Saxon math scheduled. 😄 Plus, we already found our favorites for each subject. What are you looking to get out of it? What draws you to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Not even familiar with the name, but the name is a turn off for me personally. The term "classical education" has been co-opted to mean just about anything the user wants it to mean. Considering the core purpose originally behind classical education was to train well-educated, logical rhetoricians, "easy" jars my ears. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the "easy" means "accessible-without-being-overwhelming". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulalu Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 I am looking at the history schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nam2001 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It looked interesting enough to me also and I ordered it, but just FYI - the link to the Guerber books (that I also ordered) were newer editions and the pages in the guide didn’t match the pages in the books at all. There may be a fix now, but make sure the editions match. I’m guessing it’s just not updated to reflect the newest edition of Christine Miller’s books. (That is what she sells on her website) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the books ok but am not using the schedule since it doesn’t line up at all with the text I have. It would leave a lot of work for me to figure it out 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I bought a schedule from them years back. It turned out to not be quite what I wanted/expected. It follows a 6-year history cycle, not 4, in a few other ways didn't "play nicely" with WTM, and didn't have the rigor we wanted -- I was looking for "easy" as in "organized for you". I also recall finding the science to be not that engaging, but it was a long time ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One desperate night I did a Google search for ... wait for it ... "easy + classical". 🤣 I was so young and full of hope!!!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
