Hello all,
I am new here and to HSing. I am going to start in August of 2004 with a 11 yr old ds with ADHD, and a 4(almost 5)yr old ds. I have had NIGHTMARISH problems with PS in our area with my 11 yr old, he is really struggling and has self esteem problems because he is having such difficulty.
I have looked at Weaver curriculum and SOS and am considering a mix of the 2. ( I want a mix of workbook and computer, not all of one, ds 11 has helped me to make that decision, we have talked extensively.) I have just a few concerns. I was at a bookstore with extensive HS section and she said that Weaver was intended for families who wanted a lot of "family time" and it took a lot of time to finish units. I was wondering if anyone here knew about Weaver and its time for prep and actual schooling. I am not concerned about time with my kids, or I wouldn't be doing this, but I really need flexibility, as my dh is a pastor, and we need the ability to keep it simple...
Any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I really feel both of these companies would be great for both of my kids, and am excited, but want to get information from those in the trenches, not just a salesperson...

and it contained quite a number of reviews by homeschoolers who have
used SOS. This might be helpful to you. Also, there is good YAHOO GROUP that discusses Switched On Schoolhouse. You might be able to get a lot of feedback there.
