Well we are getting ready on Monday Aug. 3 to start our 4th year of homeschooling. Who would have thought that we would be starting our 4th year. What started as a trial period four school years ago has bloomed into something wonderful. We started with kindergarten and we havent looked back. My cousin suggested homeschooling and we talked it over, the rest is history. We are planning on homeschooling all the way through. Al, has learned so much over the years. We have learned so much together about what curriculum works and what doesnt work. I guess you spend alot of time on trying different things out.  I have learn over the last 4 years of this , that you have to be very flexible with your curriuculum, just because it works for one doesnt mean it willl work for you.  So this year I have left behind R&S for several subjects. Im hoping to have better luck with BJU for math,spelling,science and bible. Im hope to be  able to stay with BJU for several years. I will decide how well it is going in a few months. Normally you can tell if something will work with in the first 3 months. I guess the best advice I can offer someone is keep a list of the stuff that didnt work and why it didnt work. Usually people makes the mistake and order something that didnt work before. I have found that if it didnt work before then it isnt going to work any better the next time around with the same kid.
