We were using ABeka for history a few years ago (4th grade I think), and it gave a really glossed over nice portrayal of Columbus. He read another book on his own (removed from the library system and purchased for a whopping 25 cents) that went into much, much more detail and really opened his (and my) eyes to the reality.flmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781812205765728149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-41131865578035686832011-10-04T12:02:59.078-04:002011-10-04T12:02:59.078-04:00I loved that idea about the homeschool alums telli...I loved that idea about the homeschool alums telling their stories. I'm glad there's a book but each story is unique so ... there's room for more.

Every college year is different. Oddly, the class giving the most trouble this year is the online class. I would have thought it would be the most like homeschooling.

The syllabus freaked me out, too. Hope college goes well for you this year.<br /><br />This is from Kate for Marina: Thanks for your words of wisdom. Since college is new for me, too, I'll keep your advice in mind! I'm glad you are taking some classes you enjoy. Hope you have a good year and don't be too hard on yourself - Kate<br /><br />For Cristina from Kate: Answer to #7: There is a book by Linda Dobson called "Homeschoolers' Success Stories" about 15 adults and 12 young people who share the impact that homeschool has made on their lives (straight off the cover). One of them is Todd Lodwick, of USA Olympic Ski Team fame. Publisher: Prima Home Learning Library. If you'd like, I could mail it to you to borrow (I'd like it back, someday!) Each story is different, of course, and I found it interesting reading. It was nice of Marina to leave a comment for Chad. I hope this year of college goes well for her!
