Okay, I was really set on RevtoRev, but then starting looking at My Fathers World Exploration to 1850 and Im confused all over again. They both look very similar! And the Apologia science looks great too. My ds hasnt done much for human body and the Apologia goes over it quite a bit. Has anyone who ...

After a lot of thinking I have decided to not put my 14 yr old into HOD, but just my 12 yr old (as well as the two youngest). So maybe that will make figuring out what to choose easier. I am still looking for input. Thank you.

Ok so after reading through the placement guide, here is a summary of where my sons are at: My 12 year old is a stronger reader than my 14 yr old. He loves to read and my 14 yr old hates it. They haven't done any literature study. We have done some CM style learning in the past. We have worked on co...

OK, Im looking at the weekly samples and they look very interesting. Im still a little confused. Im wondering if I should go by history era? We have already done ancients, middle ages, and a half a year of early modern. So I was thinking maybe I should just go with Revivial to Revolution. We were do...

Thank you Julie! Your answer was very helpful! I will look at the guide samples to get a better feel. My 12 yr old can read at a 9th grade level, but my 14 yr old cannot. They can read instructions and are used to writing "notes" on science and history. So that sounds like it will be helpful.

Also, the past few years we have worked on grammar at home it hasnt gone very well. they seem to have very little retention with it for some reason. We were doing CLE grammar this year and it was even worse. They couldnt remember half of the stuff from lesson to lesson.

I am pretty sure I read that HOD will honor the discount price next year, when you need to order the rest of Beyond, but had to buy the guide this year, seperately. Just something to know. :D discount price? The economy package pricing... as opposed to buying each book seperately. You save a bit of...

discount price?

I am still looking at the placement charts, but neither of them is very good at diagramming. We haven't done much. Same with dictation.

FYI, if you want the hands on activities Carrie wrote to go with the 1st grade math you'll need to purchase the Beyond guide. From what I've read, it's worth getting the Beyond guide just for those activities, and then you'll already have it for the next year. Thanks for letting me know! I was wond...

Thanks for the help : ) After looking at the teacher guide samples again I think I will go with LHFHG with 1st grade math. : ) I am pretty excited!

Thanks! I was just watching the video on the Great Dinosaur Mystery. Its very interesting!

Thanks : )

I am seriously considering using HOD this fall for my soon to be 6 & 4 year old. I have been doing tons of research on it and I have some questions for those that have used it. I keep reading the science is light or not well put together. Is this true? Im sure in the early years they dont need much ...

I have been looking into HOD for my two youngest ds's for this fall (they will be 4&6). My two oldest are going to be 12&14 and are currently in an independent study program. I am thinking of possibly bringing them back to hs in the fall also, and am considering HOD for them as well. I have no idea ...
