Rhetoric Alive or Fitting Words

[RubyPenn]

Has anyone compared Rhetoric Alive to Fitting Words?  My son is registered for Schole Academy's Rhetoric Alive next year, but he really doesn't like online classes, so I am now considering the Fitting Words program instead.

My young man is working through Rhetoric Alive! this year (11th grade), not using Scholé Academy's online class. After reading your post, we viewed the Fitting Words sample to compare, and our vote would still be the same as what we're doing—Rhetoric Alive! at home, no online course. Ds thinks FW looks dry and dull, which would not be enjoyable to execute.

Next year, he'll work through Rhetoric Alive! Senior Thesis, though possibly with a few tutor sessions just to critique his actual written work.

We did Rhetoric Alive! "at home" with a couple of friends that we met with once a week. It's user friendly. It is nice to have someone to work with on the speaking assignments.
