What is your favorite online homeschool curriculum? #asknostr #grownostr #homeschooling
I looked into Accelus. nostr:nprofile1qqs2rlzal4lleatrezg4tdrxw5d4srg3tcfkutuvjr5fzvu9h0kmrncpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk68uj6gq used it with his grandson, not sure if he still does. Accelus didn't look like a good match for us after doing some research on the founder.
I have kids of all ages, from baby to teenagers
Yes, we currently use Ron Paul, been using it for years, but it doesen't work for most of our kids. Particularly the math and science leaves too mucb lacking and puts too much responsibility on the kids. The material is good, but its *too* self directed. For math and science, its difficullt to find something that is both good, but isn't expecting the kids to have a full chemistry, electronics lab and workshop to themselves and isn't going to shove tranny culture down their throat with math word problems (like Khan). I'm wondering if anyone has found a good interactive online curriculum that isn't going to try to make our kids cut off their genitals, but also isn't going to preach to them about how they are wicked irrevocable sinners and there is no salvation in this life. Just teach my kid math please!
They already get plenty of that. They also need to be able to do fractions and find the least common divisor using prime factorization.
We know all about classical conversations. Unfortunately, its a very niche click and if you aren't in their cult, you aren't going to get along well.
I'm a big Tom Woods fan, we also get his stuff through RPC. Again, this is all self directed learning. We are looking for an interactive online learning curriculum where the teacher is online, grading papers and managing their progress.
It seems STEM programs for elementry is the new NASA. Its designed to get them to focus on meaningless trivia and dream of unrealistic goals while they are surrounded with no people that can provide useful direction. Sure there will be 1 or 2% that might end up in that career path, but any curriculum for children that can even attempt to scratch the depth of necessary skills to do anything meaningful has to be dumbed down to the average kid which even the average adult isn't qualified to do even the most basic task. The only positive outcome is parents bragging and exaggerating about their kids doing things they have no understanding of.
You may get along fine with classical conversations. Its very diverse. You may be fortunate and the mix of people in your area may turn out to be perfect. Unfortunately, in our area, homeschoolers generally are closely tied to their church and if you can't attend sunday service with them, you aren't going to get access to the social circle. We can't play along with the church scene because of our biblical beliefs.

Catholics are more accepted by protestants than we are. Honestly, my wife and I get along with catholics better and Catholic school may be our only remaining alternative to homeschool.
