    :D

    I’ve never heard of teaching text books. Same thing for me though. We (mom and I) made the mistake of trying a pre-algebra class before, I could quickly mulitply…it was a disaster, for sure! But Math-yo-se helped a lot!

    Pip, I use Teaching Textbooks too. I used to hate math, and now I don’t mind it.

    I hate it or love it, depending on how it went! Right now it’s 6:10 in the morning, and I’m about to start Algebra 2.

    I’m supposed to start Algebra 2 this year, but I never finished my Geometry from last year, so I have to do that first.

    Yup, I often haveta tie up loose ends everywhere! But that’s one of the pros of homeschooling, we get to be flexible.

    I reading The Westminster Shorter Catechism for school, it actually isn’t all that bad. The guy who wrote the book (it has the Qs and As, and then defines what it all means) has some good points.

    I did Westminster too! Last year. Only my mom would ask the questions then we would have to answer as best we could (she read the answers to us the day before). It was fun, we’d try to beat each other to the answer.

    Heheheh! I did the answers by meself and then she’d ask me them again and I’d desperately try to remember.

    Here in a few weeks my curicculum, Sonlight, reads Twelfth Night in a week! Mom went “Ugh” cause it seems a tad long for one meager week!

    Good grief! I would protest!

    I’d appreciate prayer cause our history ain’t workin’ out and we may haveta do additional work which would mean more money and hours messing around in my room with Qs and As! We need to come to a decision soon.

    What are you doing for history, Pip?

    Sonlight reading, but we’re considering adding Tapestry of Grace history to it and doing the discussion because they’re meatier! Sonlight history is just read the question, remember the answer and forget everything over the weekend with no thought-provoking stuffins.

    Some of the best history resources I’ve ever seen are Genevieve Foster’s “World” series. Very old, she can sometimes be theologically skewed, but it’s lovely to be able to hear about what everybody in history was doing while the others were doing something else. https://incredibooks.com/2006/02/22/george-washingtons-world/
