3lilreds in NC Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Steve Demme just called me. I'm beyond impressed that he took the time to contact me personally. I sent an email regarding my issues with Emma and math facts, and I did get a great response from their help folks with ideas I could try for practice. He was going to use my question for his next newsletter, and decided to call me for more specifics on the situation. He talked with me for about a half hour, and gave me GREAT suggestions (some of which I'd already gotten from the brilliant ladies here) and also helped me brainstorm a bit about how I can work better with Emma, personality-wise. He was so nice, listened patiently to all my rambling, and was so helpful. What a nice man. I like the program a lot, and now I'm re-sold. I have HOPE that we can get through math facts! Woo hoo! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue G in PA Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was blessed to meet Mr. Demme, his wife, and son, Johnny in person at a homeschool retreat at Sandy Cove a few years ago. My husband also took our oldest 2 boys to a "Man Camp" in West Virginia where Mr. Demme was the speaker. He is great. We love MUS, here, too. It has really silenced all the negativity in my 10yo re: math. So neat that your question will be in his next newsletter! And way cool that he contacted you personally!

Emmy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That is so neat you got to speak to him personally! I had no idea they had a newsletter - I'll have to go check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBH Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 My dd especially enjoyed MUS. I can see why you wanted to share your joy and excitement about the phone call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That is awesome! Mr. Demme seems like such a genuine, sincere, all around nice guy...this just points to that even more :) Glad to hear you're getting the help you need with dealing with your dd too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 How exciting to be able to talk to the expert! We've used MUS from K and are now in Algebra. I have a degree in math, and I truly appreciate how methodical and well thought out the program is. He makes it EASY for the parent and the student, imo.
