I am so glad not only have I been helped through this post, that others have as well. Each time I come up with another thought, concern, question, etc., I would think deep down that I shouldn't ask, and not to be burdensome to the others. But what I have found is a community of ladies so eager to pl...

Ah, I am so jealous! My family and I moved from NC last year, to FL. I am attending my first ever HS conference, in Orlando (FPEA), and am sad HOD won't be there. I am especially sad, because I am looking at making a switch to HOD, and really would love to see their materials. What a bummer!!! But f...

Jennifer-- First I would like to say, thank you, for your post/reply. It really spoke to my heart, that you gave such a "real" account. It touched on SO many things that have been swirling through my head, you just don't know. One of the things that I especially liked, was what you mentioned about h...

Wow, you ladies know your stuff (HOD/CM)! I am impressed at the fact that you have been on "both sides of the fence", where as, I am struggling with getting to the other side of mine!

Thanks Julie, for taking the time to give me that insight. Yes, you are right, I am very, very nervous about stepping outside my "comfort zone" :-). Friends of mine think I will have a hard time doing this as well. But, I am strongly considering it, and with all the help I've received on this board,...

I am sure I will be having lots, and lots of additional questions, as I take this journey away from my comfortable/boringly predictable way of homeschooling. I did speak to a lady that homeschools, and has tried numerous curri...

I hope it's all right to jump into this thread and ask a question, related to grammar. If not, sorry. My 9 y.o. dd just completed 4th grade language, with ABeka. She learned all the parts of speech toward the end of this school year, and pretty much has a grasp on them. Which R & S do you recommend ...

Ladies~ Your responses are greatly appreciated and are really helping me more so to making the decisions I need to. I am so nervous, yet anxious and excited about my decision to possibly make a change for my children's learning. What I am really liking is the fact, and one of you wonderful ladies me...

Hi everyone, I am new to HOD, but not to homeschooling. Have been homeschooling my dd for 5 years. She is in 4th grade (finished today). My ds is 7, and just finished 2nd grade yesterday! We have used ABEKA, from the start, and only ABEKA. Some years we would use ABEKA Academy (DVD's), some years, I...
