Well...
We've pretty much decided to put them in school, I even bought them backpacks today... Then we were at a get to gether tonight and a friend of a friend, who's homeschooled her two boys (10 and 13) said she'd NEVER put her kids in school. (I had heard she had been thinking about it and asked her, guess I'd heard wrong!) But it made me feel bad as that is really the way I feel too. Sigh... maybe the new prescription I got will help b4 January and we wont have to! But I'm still stuck on which curriculum to use. I NEED a FULL curriculum for the sake of my sanity. We've been doing a la carte so far and it's just too much. I end up leaving off any "unnessesary" subjects, like music and art because all I can manage is the needed ones, Lang. Arts and Math. If I had it all neatly organized into one "box" so to speak I think I'd be able to do it all, which would be a lot more fun for all of us.
What I'm finding though is that so many curiculums are super one-on-one intensive. I can't do that. I have to be able to give the work to the one and have him DO it without me while I deal with the other one.
Do you guys know which curriculums might work for us that way? Also, the price is a factor with us. A friend is using an Abeka for her daughter this year (she was given it by someone who'd never used it) which I like, mostly (except we are Canadian so the math is different to an extent, and there is a degree of patriotic and holiday content that do not coinside with our religious beliefs), but it is SOOOO pricey. I checked out the selling boards here so maybe we could do it that way, but who's to say we'll always be able to find the correct grades?
I'm finding there are, on one hand, too many choices, and on the other, not enough.
So as you may be able to gather, I'm still stuck!
Any help or ideas?
