Ssh – My curriculum is pre-packaged
By Jendi | Leave A Comment

Admitting I use pre-packaged curriculum is sometimes hard.

The impressions I’ve received from online and real-life homeschoolers it that only newbies use pre-packaged, comes-all-together, one-stop-shopping curriculum.

Well, I’m telling the world now.

I use BJU curriculum with video lessons on a hard drive. And I love it!

Here are a few reasons why:

It arrived in two boxes with complete, thorough instructions.

It has saved me hours of research, buying/shopping, and decision making. (I am not a good decision maker.)

It gives me peace of mind that all the necessary subjects are covered.

It does NOT totally tie me down all morning.

It does NOT make me any less of a mother/homeschooler by choosing only one curriculum for the different subjects.

As much as I admire all the homeschoolers that have selected different books from different companies all over the world, I know that I would like to continue with video curriculum.

Do you use video curriculum? Do you love it or hate it?

Jendi is a Christian, wife, and SAHM of 3 who blogs at Jendi’s Journal about crazy kid stuff (aka daily life), books, and random thoughts. She attended a private academy that used video classes for 10 years. Now she’s the administrator for her children’s video classes. She’d be glad to answer any questions about video curriculum.

Our family at the moment doesn’t, but it’s nice to know that I have that option. I have a few homeschool mom friends that use prepackaged just because they have a lot of children and it works for their family. I say whatever works for your family do it. Who are we to judge how you want your children to learn.
