A lot of people want online curriculum to use in homeschooling. There are many options online. Obviously some are better than others. Many are meant to be supplementary. Some are full of busy work. Some allow students to work at their pace while others have a required pace. Some have pre-recorded lessons, while some have gamified learning or live lessons, or a combination of these.
Looking at reviews online on sites other than the curriculum site can help discover what others think of the curriculum. Sites such as Cathy Duffy's homeschool reviews can help.

A: A couple of decades ago, one child greatly affected my views on teaching children to read. This boy was about 8 or maybe 9 years old when his parents brought him to the tutoring company where I then worked as a full-time tutor.  Wearing a Shakespearean-era costume while showing off a video she made of her version of the famous balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. When I was in high school, I hated studying Shakespeare. I needed a translator as I couldn't understand the English used. But as an adult, I have been to see some of his plays in the theater and have seen adaptations in movies. Plus I realize that there are many references to Shakespearean works or characters in our culture. There are reasons why these are considered classics.
I wanted my children to have a quality education and wanted that to include things like Shakespeare without feeling tortured by it like I did. |
