2JM, my wife starts teaching in the fall at a home school academy here in Richmond. She's teaching high school English/American Lit (11&12). Next year is British lit.
She has to come up with her own materials. Can you recommend resources? (or anyone else here for that matter)
Thanks
We just received a catalog in the mail from a place called "Veritas Press". They like to push a classical education, basically facts, facts, facts through fourth grade, then putting those facts together through eighth grade, and then using the facts and conclusions from the previous years.
The catalog is broken down by grade. They don't push a certain company's curriculum. Their stance is to offer you certain books that the child should be reading/working in a certain grade. It would probably be worthwhile just to check it out (they recommend LoTR and the Hobbit for high school reading ;^) )
Veritas is put out by people who are of the Reformed/Calvinist viewpoint, but hey, the Iliad is the Iliad no matter who you buy it from. ;^)
