[I still care]

A good site for used curriculum is vegsource. It’s vegetarian site, but for some weird reason they have a huge homeschooling swap board.You have to search for it, I never can find the link when I need it. But I’ve bought lots of cheap curriculum from there.

Also, as I said I teach science. I’ve found older editions are MUCH cheaper. People hold over from their college days, when they found if they had a early edition it made problems. But if you are doing the work by yourself, it doesn’t matter if the pages or problems don’t mesh with others.

I actually tell kids to bring in older edition books to my class, and we just share the problems. I’ve found the text doesn’t really change that much. Just the colors and page numbers.

Thanks, I know other homeschoolers who use Vegsource, too. It’s listed in the links above under “Homeschool Forums, Stores & Swaps”, but I haven’t tried it yet. Most of the homeschoolers where I live are natural foods enthusiasts and vegetarians. Maybe that’s why so many homeschoolers are there.

I may be one of the few people who didn’t resell her college textbooks. I kept all of them, so we have college textbooks on geology, for example, but nothing on biology!

I noticed PBS sells a video series called “Core Biology”, but it’s very expensive, and I don’t want to spend the money without knowing if it’s appropriate. That reminds me, we need a DVD/CD category. If the packages are opened, they can’t be returned for a refund, so it would be good to know which are OK to buy before purchasing.
