I am not meaning to be difficult or try to create a problem if you do not want other curriculums discussed...I understand.

I am still struggling w/ what to use and greatly desire to learn more about Charlotte Mason and her philosophy. I am still trying to read some books about her but notice LBC wll be going up to 8th grade fairly soon.

I just am curious what the differences are between HOD and LBC.

Thanks!

There was a recent thread on the HSR site about this curriculum, and the poster did not get a lot of response. It seems that many people have LOOKED at LBC, but no one has actually USED it.

I've looked at it, but was a little unsure of the guide that came with it. It looked very vague (I know that can't be spelled right, not looking it up though :wink: ). It would say something along the lines of "sometime this week, read this or do this...". I need specifics. The books looked great and the concept, just not very organized.

We use lots of read-alouds in our house, and I do pull from other book lists when looking for a book about a certain topic or time period. It looks like you could use the LBC books as read-alouds with any curriculum.

I know this is not exactly what you're asking, but I really don't know anyone who has used LBC.

HOD will be going up to grade 8 in the coming years, it that helps you with your choice. :wink:

you spelled vague right :wink:

LBC is my dream curriculum if i could spend that much money every year! but, i really would like to see the manuals first

in any case...my BeyondLHFHG and LHFHG came to day so i am a super happy camper!
