I don't like this language arts curriculum at all (video)

I am not going to go on about it, the video says it all. 

But I just wish I could find a good quality language arts program for 11th and 12 grades.

Teenage Rants from a Homeschooling Mom

 I just got home from driving my kids to the other side of the county in Metro Atlanta traffic for their homeschool elective classes.  Their day starts at 8am and ends between 5 and 7 pm depending on Drama Club calls.

On the way home I called my husband who was also driving and we spent about 40 minutes complaining about our kids.  (Sorry Oprah, but the talking while driving conversation was much needed.)

Anyway, I called him to complain that while our daughter knew that our washing machine needs repair and leaves the clothes too wet, she still didn't wash her required

If you think the way they dress doesn't matter...

I read a very good article that speaks of how young black men feel pushed out of Tampa Bay schools.  No one is interested in their success.  They are being pushed through and pushed aside.  They are not treated as individuals they complain.  ... And their complaints are very true. 

One statement bugged me though.

Bernard Scott is the only person in his family who graduated and pursued

Some things are more important than curriculum

I am still tweaking the kids' language arts curriculum because I feel like they need to spend more time on writing and less time on following someone a curriculum word for word.  It drives me crazy that I spent so much on a curriculum that was just wayyyy more than I was looking for.  It is really more of a worldview religion course than a language arts course... so I need to extract the language arts parts and have the kids focus on writing good essays.
