(Probably because they are too busy with the compiling and organising and writing and finding the curriculum in the first place) <br />And if ACE aids you in being more there in the moment, then that's exactly what you should be using. <br />We don't use ACE here, but I would never rule them out definitively. The beauty of homeschooling is being able to try different methods and madnesses on for size. And to discard, change, utilise, whatever, at will. <br /><br />Doesn't matter so much to me HOW the learning takes place, just so long as it does. And it's preferable that learning take place as a family unit. IMNSHO! <br /><br />Sometimes curriculum choices can feel like "keeping up with the joneses" when all we really need to do is keep up with our kids interests, abilities and processes. <br />(Plus the kid looks positively excited. And that's what we ALL want!)Pirra https://www.blogger.com/profile/17225479484908916540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835864986698249558.post-33344083973555863792014-01-28T05:35:07.189+09:302014-01-28T05:35:07.189+09:30We do ACE too!

We did Abeka DVDs for many years with our kids and loved it, but when we started language school, I knew I needed something that they could do more on their own while I did my schooling in the other room. It's worked so well for us. I look forward to seeing more on this!Kami Gimenezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412304691385459497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835864986698249558.post-31445058090473951292014-01-28T02:20:22.129+09:302014-01-28T02:20:22.129+09:30Thanks for sharing!
