Great Deals on School & Homeschool Curriculum

Homeschool blogger needs topics

As you may already know, I wrote several blogs on homeschooling and education. I have been doing this several years and sometimes am just brain-dead for topics.

If there is anything you would like to know about homeschooling or that would make a good article, please leave a comment... thanks.

Great Deals on School & Homeschool Curriculum

Don't parents think for themselves?

I am confused. I live in the Georgia NE area that is flooding today. I am watching a news story about Cobb County schools closing after flooding and parents screaming that their kids the kids should have never been sent to school.

They are angry that schools were open and the kids were permitted to go to school... but I am looking at these upset parents and asking myself... didn't the parents have to dress those kids and put them on the school buses. If they didn't know better, then how could the schools.... If they did know better, why did they send the kids in?

Website Curriculum Review: Guaranteach

I was recently introduced to a new online math website called Guaranteach.com. It is a math website that provides online math help through the use of video. It is value priced at only $9.95 a month.

I have seen this done by other websites and feel that it is truly the way math should be taught (through video), but gauranteach goes one step further customizes the program by letting students and parents create settings that fit the students learning style.

I have used different video based lessons over the years to homeschool my kids. The reasons we have stopped using one site or another is because they would complain that it was too fast, or too dry, or too silly, or too fast. The customization feature of this site solves that problem. You can adjust the settings for something more or less serious. To be more verbal or less, more real world, or to have more or fewer pictures.

The student will also have a hard time getting bored because there are numerous teachers to help them throuhg the different lessons. There are over 20,000 in the different styles that will work your student through all levels of math from Basic math through Calculus, statistics, and advanced statistics. Yes, there are AP lessons available through this site.

I haven't used this website much as I don't want to bounce my kids around every time I find something new, but if is sounds like something you might want to try. Whether you are a homeschooler or someone looking for Online Tutoring, you will want to check out the free fraction vidoes and free trial.
