K12 Homeschool Curriculum Review: Too Much Work for A Child's Age

by Laura
(Ohio)

Visitor Review: The materials from K12 seem fine...problem is there is just too much of everything!! Too many books, too many subjects, too many learning activities. It is MORE than overwhelming and I have traditionally home schooled before.

I honestly could not recommend it to anyone who has less than 8 hours per day to spend plus nights and weekends to read the teacher materials.

It doesn't have to be too much
by: TXVA mom - Melinda

You do not have to complete every part of every assignment. There is no possible way to do it all. The only thing you need to do is meet the objectives for the lesson. Once you meet the objective (this may be done by prior knowledge), take the short assessment at the end, mark it complete and move on. The objectives need to be met, and students need exposure to many subjects. That way, they can learn what they are passionate about and what they are not interested in (great for choosing a career later) and there will be no gaps in learning when they are in the rigors of high school, college or grad school.

Children's minds are like sponges, they are created to learn. Expose them to rich materials and lots of topics, subjects and information. K12 does an excellent job of this. It stretches us as moms and parents and has our students learning a wealth of information about topics we would possibly never introduce to them.

Common Complaint
by: Anonymous

This seems to be a common complaint for many people especially those who use the virtual academy and do not have the choice to un-assign some of the work to make it more manageable.

What did you choose instead?
