We have home schooled since day 1 and have used a number of sources.
One of the people we heard from early on was a principal for 20 years, but
home schooled some of his own kids. He said he didn't like using curriculums
for anything but extra curricular activity, he liked to use many sources.
I have heard good things about Calvert, but haven't used it as it is about 3
to 4 times more expensive than most systems. We have used Saxon Math, it is
recommended by many educators, but my son says the Abeka math is far more
challenging. We are using the Abeka curriculum, but supplementing it with
the Robinson Curriculum (CD's) and many outside sources such as assignments
from library books etc.
Our son is 11 and is about 2 to 3 years ahead of the public schools, this is
par for the course for home schooling, No amount of teaching skills can make
up for
1 on 1 attention. It is amazing how much time is wasted in the school
system.
