I really don't want to say much about homeschooling. My daughter-in-law did that for 3 years. They were not using Saxon. My other grandchildren are in public school (small town - makes a difference) and they use Saxon. As a math teacher, I am very concerned - I REPEAT - NO PROBLEM SOLVING - that they are not getting the basic math they need. Their parents are having to supplement Saxon. These are smart kids, and both parents are good in math - electrical enigineer and geologist. Saxon does not meet the criteria needed to learn math - PROBLEM SOLVING.

"I REPEAT - NO PROBLEM SOLVING "
BOGUS- I REPEAT - BOGUS...Saxon 54 has tons of problems to solve and is an excellent text, the most widely used for home education, and as the Rudner study has shown the proof is "in the pudding".
