Homeschooling Tips

Curriculum-in-a-box simplifies your homeschooling life

Lesson planning, assignment grading, teaching every concept...I'm ready to sent these kids back to school! Four hour school days turn into fourteen hours! Help!


How can I simplify our homeschooling lives? I spend my weekend planning lessons and my whole week teaching them. I thought homeschooling was supposed to be fun! When do we have time for things like projects and field trips?

You were told that all you need is a library and a Bible, but how do you know if you child is even on track after you've done all of this work? If you haven't examined the new curriculum-in-a-box options, you may be selling yourself short. Companies like Alpha Omega Publications and School of Tomorrow offer curriculum-in-a-box options that can greatly simplify homeschooling.

There are several advantages to this option:

1. You know your child is getting a high-quality education and not missing out on any material.

2. You can just open your workbooks or computer home page everyday and your child knows what to do next.

3. Many of the materials are self-teaching, so your child can come to you when he or she has questions about the material and you as the teacher are not required to teach every concept.

4. You can stop spending money on supplemental material because these products usually have items such as maps and charts available within the lesson.

5. You can save time that you normally spend looking for visual aids and just use the included ones.

6. The computerized curricula offer the additional option of grading themselves so the teacher saves time here too!

7. If you are co-teaching, co-oping, or using a tutor, a new teacher can pick up where the last one left off without a hiccup.

8. If you are traveling, you can take along the workbooks or a laptop wherever you go.

9. Buying a complete, all-in-one, homeschooling curriculum set is much less expensive than a private school.

Many forums have information and reviews from actual homeschooling moms available. Be sure to ask questions and check those out before choosing a particular curriculum, because they can be pricey.
