It isn't too often anymore that I truly do something the way it was "supposed to" be done, as I end up adapting from the get-go.<br /><br />And I love, love, love using a combination of classics, more recent "classics" and books that certainly have not (yet or maybe ever) stood the test of time...

When you're frustrated with a curriculum, rather than quitting and buying something new, look at ways to use the curriculum differently. Adapt it to fit your family's needs. Make it work for you. <br /><br />My other tip is to look for a book that can engage your child's interest in the subject and bring it to life in a fun way. Utilize your library as much as possible, but don't feel that only classics have value in your homeschool. There are a lot of good books that are newer that can engage a reluctant learner.April E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15164816922676451413noreply@blogger.com
