Thanks, Heather! That's exactly what I was looking for. It's nice to hear what college professors are doing.

That's what we did this week, too! He typed it up, made it smaller, and glued it into the appropriate box.

Thanks for your input. I guess I'm just trying to decide what percentage I want mechanics to count in the narration.

My oldest son started MTMM this week, and since he is in high school, I have started grading his notebook pages so that I have a history grade to put on his transcript. My question is this: how much should punctuation/grammar/capitalization count in the written narrations? His facts are great, the l...

My oldest son is using MTMM beefed up for high school this year. It just means that this particular child won't use all of the guides, which is a bummer, I know, but you do what you have to.

My boys recently took the IOWA (testing is required in our state) with very similar results. My 8th grader has used all the guides from LHFHG to CTC (starting MTMM in August), and his scores were lovely. His math composite was 8.7, but pretty much everything else was 13+ (the IOWA's version of PHS)....

Welcome to HOD! :) I'm so sorry you've dealt with that. :( We had a similar issue with a "Christian" company, as well. We have used all the guides from LHTH through RTR and have NEVER found an objectionable book. It's one of the things I love most about HOD. I have read some of my teen's books becau...

Thanks, ladies!

The funny thing is that since I posted this, our destination has changed. We move to the Seattle, WA area in two weeks.

Thank you, Carrie, for your thoughts (and for taking time to share them). :) The more I think about it, the more I feel that with all of his outside activities and the upcoming move, waiting on the Geography guide is best. Talking with my son, he would prefer MTMM to Rev2Rev, as he is more intereste...

I think we're in a similar boat. :) If we were coming in new, Caleb would definitely place in the Geography guide. He will also go to a regular 4 year college, although he will likely take some dual credit classes his senior year at the local CC and transfer those in. I'll be interested to see Carri...

just bumping this up for you--I've got one of my own I'm bumping too :wink: Thank you. :) We are also now considering MTMM for next year, but all the same basic pros/cons apply regarding MTMM as they do for Rev2Rev, except that we would give half a credit for it in 9th, 1 credit for Geo in 10th, 1 ...

We have been SO very excited about the upcoming Geography guide and about using HOD for high school! My oldest son has completed the guides through RTR. He took this year to do another curriculum because he really wanted to study church history, and we intended to use the high school Geography guide...

Carrie, I am so excited by all the sneak peeks! It is definitely making me feel more comfortable about homeschooling high school next year. :) Do you have an estimated release date yet for the new geography guide? Thank you for all your hard work. You are truly appreciated. Allison We are so excite...

Thank you, Carrie, for an extremely thoughtful reply. I love how you help us think through things. :) I will be in this same boat with my younger son in a couple of years. I understand and agree with all of the reasons given for not skipping MTMM, but I guess my question is...will the high school gu...

I actually love BJU literature. :D My oldest used it in high school. I am thrilled to see this pairing of BJU lit with real books. Do you have any ideas yet what real books will be scheduled and will there be any sorts of directions for activities to go with those, or will the kiddos just read/discu...

We are likely moving to the St Louis area this spring, and I was just wondering if there were any fellow HOD'ers there.
