SOS...Is it enough?

[famlyferst]

This is our first year of homeschooling and we are using the SOS 7th grade curriculum. My question is, is this enough? Should I be adding to the curriculum? My son is getting through with all of the work within a few hours, at the most. I do have him read outside of the curriculum, but I am starting to wonder if this is "enough".

For those of you that use the complete SOS curriculum is this all you do or do you supplement?

That is a great question. I am using SOS starting this fall for 3rd grade. I am very interested in hearing the answers here.

There are campus schools, after all, which use AO, and they consider it to be "enough."

If your ds is able to zoom through it, then good for him

What is SOS? If you do not mind me asking.

Is it enough compared to what? I use the same curriculum and then some. If he is breezing through the material maybe he needs a level higher, or perhaps you could invest more time on the subjects that interest him most. It does not hurt to challenge him to achieve higher standards, if it is too much he will let you know. What ever you do use the time wisely, it is only beneficial to him in the long run.

I began researching curriculum this past fall after deciding to homeschool my daughter beginning in her 6th grade year (Fall 2007). From what I have found is many parents love SOS but the program has some bugs and will score tests/exams incorrectly. The parent has to then go in and manually correct any mistakes the program makes. While I've heard that the program is wonderful and the kids like it, I imagine having to analyze each incorrect answer can be a bit frustrating and time consuming.

I'm still on my quest to find what is going to work with my daughter. She is an excellent reader/speller but struggles with math concepts, problem solving and reasoning skills. I've been told by more than a few that in middle school, Saxon Math is wonderful for those that are not so inclined. I'm still looking out for Language Arts/Social Studies/Science/Bible for her. Any suggestions?
