Please tell me I'm missing something. Since the Chapter Reviews are part of the grading for Health, it would be helpful to have an answer key for those, but I don't see it. I started making one myself for this year and future years. Easy? Yes. Time consuming? Yes! I hope I'm just being blind.

The answers to the chapter review are part of a separate Teacher's guide that isn't part of the HOD package. It seems pretty easy to just glance back at the student book when I go to grade.

Glad2Bsaved,

When putting together the resources needed for each HOD High School guide, we try to be as mindful as possible of which resources are truly needed to complete each guide. If we included all available ancillary guides for each subject areas, the overall price tag for a year of high school would quickly spin out of control.

The Total Health Teacher's Guide does contain the answers to the chapter reviews, however with that being the only purpose we would need the guide for and with a price of over $70 for that guide, we found it easier and more economical to refer to the student text for the answers to the chapter reviews. Each Health chapter is broken up in our Heart of Dakota guide so that the answers for the few questions scheduled from the chapter review each day are actually found within the reading pages scheduled for that same day. We did this purposefully so that the parent must do very little searching to locate the answers.

Having done Total Health two different years now with two different students, I didn't seem to have difficulty with that part of the correcting. Often, we were scheduled to discuss things within the chapter that I had the book in hand for anyway. Plus, depending on the question, the boys' answers weren't always the same.

I did appreciate having the answers for the tests though, as those were cumulative for each chapter (and would require scouring the entire chapter for answers to correct without an answer key). This is why we do carry the Total Health: Test and Quiz Master Book within our packages, as it contains both tests and an answer key.

Blessings,
