Re: guide differences
Oh good, thanks. If I go this route, I want the entire package, new guide and all. I'm just simply wanting one CHEAP to peruse it enough to see if this is the direction we'll go since samples never do a program justice. :) But I didn't want one so cheap or so old that it didn't really give me the gi...

Re: LA suggestion for 6th grader with no prior grammar?
Analytical Grammar is another one that begins late and learns it all within 3 years. And that IS their plan.

Re: "Trial" week before public school starts...help!
I don't want to hijack this post, and I can repost if necessary, but any suggestions for handling the lack-of-focus? Especially in light of following a "school hours" schedule? Brief breaks to run a lap around the house? My dd often asks to "just play for a few minutes" when we are in the middle of...

Re: "Trial" week before public school starts...help!
I read your "thanks" last night and was going to respond to it, but I see Julie beat me to it. What Julie said are the most important things to learn. Seriously. "Housework" should wait. It should be treated like you would treat it if you had a full time job outside the home. Another thing that was ...

Re: "Trial" week before public school starts...help!
I agree with Cici! Especially since one week is hardly time time to do anything much less see how things go. It takes at least 6 weeks to get into the swing of the curriculum itself and a full year for homeschooling in general if you're a newbie. I pray that you do speak to your DH and perhaps pour ...

Re: Expos
Julie, the weekly thing definitely makes sense as does all the tear up/tear down time. There's always issues that we don't realize, which is why I asked. And again, it all makes total sense.

Re: Expos
Makes sense. I had a friend who did this and it was exhausting!
Hopefully you'll change the travel schedules from year to year so you are able to attend our convention here and there. Although Phoenix in July is insane.

Thanks Julie. Those are some great ideas for Apologia. DD had a really hard time with General. So they're saying Mod #4 it gets more interesting? We stopped at 3.

Thank you, ladies!

LOL... I never thought to look at it, but it does look fun. 
I still have the magnets from doing ADV.
Thanks also for the audio recommendations.

So far I've heard mostly good things on my search with WS. It seems simple enough, and won't break the bank. DD loves to write and I'm glad there would be help here on the site. That's a bonus. Not only that I don't have to change again next year if we like it. This is good.

I would like to know which books some of you think are just not "missable". We did complete KT up to this point, but it looks like I'll have to pick and choose, because sometimes I just poop out.
