I come to you fellow Freepers with a prayer request. My husband Mike, after being unemployed for 6 months, has just left for Dallas (from southern Arizona) to start his new job.

I am about to embark on what I hope to be a great journey in educating my children. I am pulling them out of the public school system. But what curriculum to choose?!?! There are so many, just about all of them have both good and bad reviews. I dont necessarily want to, but Im prepared to spend up to $400 per month on whatever it takes to do this right.
