Even worse, and those of you to whom this structure and religious
homeschooling stuff is new, brace yourselves:
There are many people who go to a conference and pay a special fee which ONLY
gives them access to the vendor room. Sometimes it's as little as $10. I
heard a couple of days ago of one charging something like $60 to get in to
see vendors.
They don't even go to one single talk or presentation or workshop. They're
not there to meet other homeschoolers. Some of them fear to meet other
homeschoolers. Their mission is clear, and their path is narrow and upright.
They buy what they're told to buy, browse the extra stuff, spend their
year's worth of money, and go back home.
Does anyone have a good estimate on what an upper-range amount would be for a
full curriculum and some recommended "literature" or "historical fiction"
would be in such cases?

Me! Me! I know! How about upwards of $1,000 for Sonlight? Hack, hack.
They *tell* you how wonderful they are in allowing you to purchase their
book recommendations at used bookstores or through the library. What they
don't point out well enough is that many of their books are self-published.
Even books you may find elsewhere. They use *specific* books, ie. copyright
dates, etc., so what they don't make fully clear is that their manuals are
geared by page numbers. [Lesson 1: read lines 17-35 on page 26 in so and
so.]So if you bought the exact same book by the exact same author but if it
is in big print, by a different publisher or a different copyright date, the
manuals will have your head spinning.
The whole thing is set up so that you have to work 90 million times harder
to save yourself some money. And they aren't in the slightest bit ashamed
of that fact! They are more than proud to admit it! Shameful, if you ask
me.
Grrrr,
Jennifer

Hey, I was right! I checked into Sonlight for giggles and chose 6th grade,
since it's right in the middle. For their comprehensive package, icluding
everything you need??? $1,090.71!!! HOLY SMOLY!!!
Can you IMAGINE all you could do for ONE child with that much money??
**Season** tickets to museums, zoos, amusement parks, the theater, the
opera, a PS2 WITH games, a shopping spree at a used book store, rec center
classes...ohmagosh! It is stupifying!

No. Sonlight is carefully engineered.
Those wild places have false religion taught as truth (beware the "dinosaur"
museum)
primates with penises
gambling booths
glorification of humanist relationships, murder, extra-marital, pre-marital,
post-marital sex (theatre & opera)
PS2 just evil
used bookstores with SECULAR books?

Oh, no, wait.

I learned about that one (sonlight) the hard way.. I spent about 98 percent
of the time organizing and re-organizing just to have it "fit" us until we
gave it up and just read the books..lol. I recently went through my "we
need structure" episode and almost bought the Oak Meadow which would end up
costing us around 1200. Yikes! The more I "listen" to this group, the more
I realize my need for structure isn't mine at all.. it's just to satisfy
others (relatives, community, etc.). I love this list. :)

• Do you need a computer at home? Nationally, 83.7% of homeschooled students
use a computer.
I was looking for price ranges of school at home, but instead found an
interesting and entirely unqualified statement. .7! 83.7.
Since nobody knows how many people homeschool and the counting would be
vastly different from state to state even if we COULD count (the definition
changes)... that count is based on something very limited. But it was
presented as a carefully counted fact. Not "over 80%" nor even "83%," but
83.7%
I'm amused and offended.

What I've heard about Sonlight is that it's really hard to implement
in a real life. Don't think I've heard one way or the other about the
content. That booklist DOES look juicy! but seems to me, the
frustrating things I've heard about have to do with making it work.
make sense? But I've never bought a curriculum, besides a KONOS book.
so I'm not a judge of what is good and what isn't.

*******I'm marketing a new series of Unschooling curriculum, just $1243 per
year per
child. I anticipate that 83.47% of Unschoolers will choose to use this
curriculum, which consists of newsprint workbooks -- of blank pages.
Let me know how many you want to order.

Are these consumable? Does your price include the parent's manual? Do you
have some kind of a test so I know which level to buy for each child? Do
you have a pre-unschool version so that my 3 year old can pretend to
unschool while the older children are doing their unschool work? <g>

to this house. I had told them that if they filled the whole book up with
writing, single sides, any writing, copying from comics or anything, and that
I would buy that kid a video game cartridge of his or her choice.
Not one of them did it. Holly's has lots of drawings. Marty's has notes for
a video game. Kirby's is lost (he looked for it when he took driver's ed,
said he had seen it when they cleaned his room the week before).
Notebooks last a long time here! <bwg>

I wonder if any families have ever ACTUALLY made their kids consume their
learning materials? Shredded, chopped and added like wheat germ, I could
probably down a page a day, myself. Or could chew it like gum, maybe.
Dipped in flavoring of some sort. And there would be one last bit that
didn't dissolve, I suppose. Those could be thrown at the ceiling. Or
sculpted gradually, one stuck on a day, into a papier maché (LITERALLY
machéd) sculpture.
Oh sorry, I daydreaming. Back to work.

Another good use for this curriculum would be origami practice, paper
airplanes, mulching the garden, sketching.
as for consuming them...hamburger stretcher' thinly cut strips, put
in with spaghetti just before serving could make a pound of pasta go
further L
I like the wads on the ceiling thing.

My estimate would be closer to 71.635%
