Posted on 2009 under homeschool | 3 Comments20 Nov
He will be in the 3rd grade and most homeschool places I looked into wants $60 per subject.. any other ideas?
it is per subject like Math,english, etc…it is through Saxton at our homeschooling/teachers store
$59.99 retail, I try to look per subject but need something with everything together.
We have been homeschooling since our children were in fourth and fifth grade. Our children are now in 11th and 12th grade respectively. We have used the same curriculum throughout. We use Switched on Schoolhouse from Alpha Omega Publications. When we took our kids from the local public system, they were scoring below the 50th percentile in the nation. Within 2 years, they were scoring in the top 10 percent in the nation on the state administered tests. My oldest son has received a full academic scholarship to a very good state university. He scored a 30 on his ACT. The local system averaged a pathetic 17 on the ACT’s. Our children have for the last 2 years attended a homeschool support school for things like drama, Spanish I & II, and lab subjects. We could do things like Chemistry in-house but I didn’t want the kids blowing up my house. The teachers at our support school are professors at local state colleges,so they are very good at what they do. The software costs about $299 a year but it handles all the scheduling and requires very little intervention on your part.

What school was that?? Seems very expensive. Im currently in freshman in college and when I was a freshman in high school I was also homeschooled but I didnt pay anything. The teacher came to my house and stayed for about two hours every two weeks. I learned absolutely nothing and I had a really tough time when I went back to school.

$60 per subject for just a lesson plan, are you certain about that?
You can typically find complete subjects (work book, text book and teachers guide) for $40-60 per subject.
My 2 favorite stores to purchase from are:
