Thank you for your suggestions and sharing with me, rumkimom! That is what I was thinking for my 12th grade dd, since this would definitely be a big learning curve for her. I am sad that she will miss the richness of this, though. I am going to call HOD this week and ask for their feedback. They are...

Hello families! I have been on this forum for a bit now, but really need some help with deciding. We've used a hodge-podge of different curriculum for my children this past year, and we really want to find something to stick with. I've looked and read about HOD for the past couple of years, so it's ...

Thank you all, again, for your precious thoughts and suggestions! My heart is so encouraged today! I have had a very busy past 2 weeks and forgot to come back and check my post comments. I'm sure glad that I did! I know that the thing I struggle with most is having peace with my children learning at...

Thank you for your honesty with posting, Daneale! I totally understand you being hesitant about it. I have had some time to consider the possibility of switching and feel like I do need to switch for at least my 6th grade son. I feel like the books we are reading are quite repetitive in a way, and t...

Thank you all for you responses and prayers! I have been contemplating a switch and will most likely be ordering what we need this coming week. My eldest dd is still on the fence about switching, so we might allow her to finish her year with what she is currently doing, which is working well for her...

I'm so glad to have found this post! We will be new to HOD next month and are just South of Nashville.

Hello families! I am hoping to find some guidance and encouragement here about the possibility of us switching gears this month. I know it probably isn't the easiest thing to do, so I'd love to hear suggestions and experience. My children are in 6th, 9th, and 11th grades and are currently using My F...

Hi Deneale, Thank you for chiming in after I posted. I wonder if the original person ever did see this? I wanted to ask, if you wouldn't mind sharing, why you left MFW for HOD? I am looking at possibly doing the same for my upcoming 6th, 9th, and 11th grade children. If you'd rather send a PM, that ...

Thank you for your suggestions, ladies! I am going to look into this further. I guess my only issue with this is having to beef up something I already feel is "full," so to speak. I am praying and asking if this is the right direction for our family. I love the way HOD looks and I've heard such wond...

Hello HOD families! I am having a bit of a decision dilemma, so I hope y'all can help me some with this. We are fairly new to HOD (tried MTMM last year but gave up too soon, so sad) and wonder what would be recommended for our children. I was planning on beginning with RtR for my soon-to-be 6th grad...

I am bumping this thread again because it is SO helpful! Thank you, Julie! You have helped clarify a lot of the things that I've tried to compare on the two, as we've used MFW since homeschooling in 2011. I had looked into HOD several times, but had a tough time taking the plunge because it just did...

I know this post is from a while back, but I wanted to ask where you got those science notebooking sheets? We are going to possibly be doing RtR this fall with my 6th grade dd and would love to have ours set up like this!

This is a great question, seeing as we are currently a MFW and would love to hear some feedback on this as we decide for this summer. I hope someone sees this and chimes in!

Thank you for your helpful responses, everyone! I was just informed that the high school version of American History should be out in sections for this next school year, so I guess that solves my issue! I am now trying to figure out where to begin with my soon-to-be 6th and 9th grade children. Thank...

Hello HOD families! I have a question regarding high school. My children are currently in 5th, 8th, and 10th grades, and we are using MFW. I was looking at HOD for our next school year (possibly June) and wonder if it is feasible for my soon-to-be 11th dd? So far, she did Medieval with BiblioPlan in...
