I have looked at Saxon and I keep hearing good things about it, but I really love the Alpha Omega math! It introduces a skill, but doesn't just quit teaching the other skills. You keep going back to things...refreshing them in your brain. I just really like the lifepac system and so does Matthew...he has a lot of control over when he does his work. He can pick up his workbook and do his assignment for the next day in the evening if he wants to...

I may look into Saxon again...but I don't know...

That is exactly what Saxon does. I've heard good things about Alpha Omega for the lower levels, but Saxon seems to be head and shoulders over the rest for later years.

Hi again. I'm in database class.

As you well know, the beauty of homeschooling is that you can decide what studies work best for your own child. As Jen said her mom tailored the curriculum to the particular needs and learning styles of each of the kids. that is awesome!

If Matthew is doing well with what he has, and you know he's learning the skills he needs, by all means, stay with it! You can always look at other curricula along the way to see if it might work better, but there's no law that says you have to change! It is great that he can work on his own. That will help you tremendously when Josh gets more heavily into learning.
