Hi all, I have a 14 year old who has done the guides Bigger, CTC, and RTR. This past year however, we took a year off of HOD to cover Canadian History as we are Canadian My question is, should we jump back into Rev to Rev or could we skip to MMTM? I know chronologically it's not the best, but I feel skill wise she might fit into that category or even higher.
Also, I know alot of the history is American-based, but it looks like it is tied into World events pretty well which would be best for us
Any advice
Thanks,
Shannon

My 13yo is in MtMM right now. We started a few weeks ago. We opted to skip Rev to Rev. Due to her age/grade, we would skip something to be ready for the high school guide. She placed in both guides, but her interests was better fit for MtMM.
I struggled with this decision. I felt like skipping was 'wrong' and that we should do EVERY guide. It took me a little time to appreciate the position we were in and that we had more options to choose from.

11 yo dd - CTC, finishing up TT5, Piano.
If she places solidly skill wise in MTMM then I think you would be fine doing that. We are finishing up Rev to Rev and I just bought MTMM and have been looking through it. From first glance it does seem like MTMM is a little less American History slanted than Rev to Rev. This is mainly due to all the missionary focus. I will say though that Rev to Rev has more world history than people think. There is quite a bit of European history and even some looking at what was going on in Japan, China, Africa etc. in Rev to Rev.

RevtoRev is fantastic ( I learned an incredible amount of stuff along with dd ), but if DD is solidly placing at MtMM or above, I would go with where she places.

My question is, should we jump back into Rev to Rev or could we skip to MMTM? I know chronologically it's not the best, but I feel skill wise she might fit into that category or even higher.
