7th grade curiculum, need help NEWBIE!!!!
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2006 3:05 am
I never thought I would need to homeschool my daughter until I moved to Hawaii. The schools here are so far behind that I have to get her out!!!
I have been reading about different curiculums for a week now. I am so confused and scared. Could someone please answer some questions.
I really want to use a dvd hs program... and Abeka looks appealing. I have heard that they end up doing a LOT of work, and that it is very hard. Is this true? I also heard that returning work can be a pain.
How long do you spend watching the Dvd's? How long do you spend burried in a book? How long on paperwork.... etc, etc, etc....
Do you have to submit a lot of "extra" stuff? Like book reports, projects, essays... etc, etc, etc...
If anyone uses this curiculum for a 7th grader please fill me in.
Also, if there are any other complete curiculums that offer a dvd program please let me know. I was looking for something less religious!!!
If you have any positive, or negative experiences with Abeka (or a similar program) please share it with me. I would really appreciate it.
