daisychics Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does anyone take this course? It's for 2nd-12th grade. It was just recommended to me last night at our WTMgroup meeting. I'm listening to a lecture and really, I want it more for me. :D Any opinions?

Sunshine State Sue Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Here is an old thread. I remember back on the old boards a few people had good things to say about HaoH, but their children were young (7-8ish?). I am seriously considering this for next year.

kRenee Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am using HaOH this year. We wanted to do middle school American History so we are listening to the pre-recorded lectures that he has from last year. I don't know why, but the upper elementary class and middle school level were combined - so that is the one we are listening too. We find the pace of the class to be very slow. (My guess is that it is aimed at 4th grade) He spends 10-15 minutes of each 30 minute lesson doing a review of previous topics. I like how Mr. Powell makes connections between what is happening in American History and what happened at the same time in the rest of the world. My dd, who is an avid reader, doesn't have the patience to sit and listen so I turned her loose on the Hakim books, but my son, not an avid reader, is continuing to listen to Mr. Powell. I'd like to try his Modern History next year, but only if he has a middle school level that isn't combined. I like his presentations, but my kids need more details and less repetition.
