Madisyn Carlin:
Would you mind revealing what is a good homeschool curriculum? There is a chance my 15 year old grandson might switch next year to homeschooling.

Hello, Barbara:
There are several great ones, but the two I primarily used were Abeka and Apologia. Abeka has the best history, literature, and grammar and Apologia, for the most part, is the best with science. Wordsmith is excellent for creative writing. Regarding math, you can use Abeka (which I did), Life of Fred, or Teaching Textbooks.
There are a plethora of types out there, but the above are the ones I most recommend. If you go to Christianbook.com and type in "homeschool ______ (science, math, lit, history, etc.)", you'll get a ton of answers.
The thing to remember is every child fits into a different "mold". What works for one will not work for another, and it's all about finding the curriculum that jives with their learning abilities and personality. I went through about four different maths before learning Abeka worked best for me.
Hope this helps!
