No kidding.

That means a thousand bucks to “lease” the DVDs for Joshua’s 4th grade and another thousand bucks to lease them for Matthew’s grade, which I don’t know HOW that will work, since he’s not in one particular grade, but like spread out over three!

I need some whiskey.

Hmm, can you pool with another homeschooler? Or maybe change your plans? Matthew’s in particular... ouch. $400 a subject? Sheesh.

Have you looked into the TRISMS curriculum? I know that the woman who wrote it is in Tulsa. Many folks start their kids off in 6th grade with their first program, "History Makers",spreading it over two years, to get the kids used to all the research and writing involved. Then there are four high school programs, which folks start in the 8th grade so that their kids can do the last program "Age of Revolution" over two years because there is so much content in it.

Joseph enjoyed History Makers, because it was like a survey of World History, concentrating on Scientists, Inventions and Exploration.
