Emilylou Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 daily... I am actually spending my Saturday going to bed early to look through all my curriculum catalogs. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avila Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I am going through a small crisis over that. I find myself chanting over and over, "I like what I bought; I will use what I have." I go back and forth between knowing that for me, there is no perfect open-and-go curriculum and deciding that sure there is, but I haven't found IT yet. I am afraid this board is contributing to my unwellness! Yours looks solid. I can't look again, though, or I will be digging out my WP catalog!

EKS Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Let's see, for math for my 12 yo we've gone through 5 different programs. But one of those was because he finished the book. Honestly! This must be a new record for me. He finished Jacobs' Algebra in November so we automatically went to Jacobs' Geometry 3rd edition. But he was struggling so we tried Jacobs' Geometry 2nd edition. But that was still a struggle so we went to Jacobs' Mathematics: A Human Endeavor so I could have some time to think. I've had enough time to think and he has been complaining that there is no point to MHE because it's not an "official" high school course so we are going to try TT Geometry. Whew!

LoveBaby Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Your plan looks good. I haven't personally used any of those items, but it looks like a solid, well-rounded year! I've changed my mind several times over the last few months. In fact, I need to do a search of my posts to even see what it was I *thought* was a good idea in Jan/Feb. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I change my mind everytime somebody here posts something wonderful about a curriculum! :willy_nilly: Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You have two full language arts programs and two full science programs (and maybe two full math programs? - I've never seen either one, so I'm guessing here.) You could just choose one of each and be fine. But, I'm really not one to speak about using more than one program per year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I feel like I have been going NUTS for the past few months. How many time are we "allowed" to change our mind when it comes to curriculum choices????????????:confused::D:D:confused: Cindy, every single spring I decide to unschool, then talk my way back to homeschooling. I'm in the throws of it right now. Even though I know it's coming, I always do it. It's like Pon Farr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Daily! Well, I think we are finally set for now for the spine, but as for the extras....we use them unless they don't work, then we move on. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulcindy Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 WHEW................................I was thinking I went and lost my mind!!!! I have got to either A. STAY off this board or B. STOP looking at catalogs or C. STAY off the computer. HA HA HA HA ................NOT:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Uh...changing the mind...that would rather imply I'd actually made up my mind at some point :lol: Well, I know we're sticking with Horizons for another year. So that's math covered. I'm leaning towards Apologia for Science. TOG Year 1. SOTW Year 1. Debating odds and ends. There's so much I want I want I want, but on a tight screaming budget. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4him Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I have definitely had these problems. I get something, get started with it and then decide there is something better. I had a 'revelation' this winter though as I was lamenting enjoying a certain curr/sub. We were about 1/2 way through and I was ready to quit it and start something else like I had done the year before. My dd was not happy about that thought. She really wanted to finish something! I had to look at the way I had jumped around and how it had been affecting her. Now after saying that I have changed LA curr as the one we were using she HATED and really wasn't working but I am going to do my best to keep going with the curr. that are working for my two and that they enjoy. I also found that within me I was unhappy with the one curr. because I hadn't brought in much organization with it. It was to hap hazard for me. I took a week end and organized it all to the end of the book and I found that I enjoyed it much more and we finished it. YEH!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaichiki Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I change my mind constantly. We've been using the same history curriculum for years, but we've tried a bunch of different LA programs (spelling, writing, grammar, combined). I have several math and science curricula sitting on my shelves, too. Don't feel guilty about changing your mind. We all do it! :) There are so many terrific resources out there now -- homeschoolers from years ago would be green with envy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Lilac Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I was just going to say your plan looks great, but a little science-heavy....2 FULL programs worth.....unless that area is a passion for you or your DD, you might want to start with one and see how it goes.
