You're doing a great thing, homeschooling. It may be tough at first, but it's totally worth it. I'm in grades 8-10 because of it. Homeschooling is the best!

Do you have any opinion on Art Robinson's homeschooling techniques?

If you haven't heard of Dr. Robinson there's a good article on him in my profile entitled "A Scientist Finds Independence".

Robinson's, huh? No, I don't have any real opinion on his techniques. I've never tried any of his books.

I use Abeka for history, science, and spelling, and used to use Horizon for math. You may want to check out other Alpha-Omega stuff. It's good, Christian curriculum, as is Abeka, though I wouldn't recommend Abeka's math.

Here's a really helpful hint: in big cities, there are actual homeschooling conventions where you can get curriculum and supplies.

One last tip: If you don't want a to spend hundreds on curriculum, go to Ebay and search for the type of curriculum you want. You can get the same stuff for much less.

I hope that helps. Good luck!
