Good morning all,
I am hoping to receive some suggestions and encouragement concerning my eighth grade daughter. We made the swap to MP this year, and I have to say that I absolutely love this curriculum. I continue to be impressed by how well the content is organized and how each subject reinforces the others.
My issue is that we never feel finished. It seems that there is not enough time in the day to fit it all in. We start in a timely manner, and I try to be mindful of staying on task throughout the day. My priorities are algebra, latin, and language arts. These studies seem to take up most of our time, and geography, science, and the histories always seemed rushed and afterthoughts. I want to check every single box and don't want to miss any good thing. My daughter is very bright, loves to please, and is an extremely hard worker. Our issue isn't sloth. She will sit at the table all day and do what I ask of her. We both feel defeated and frustrated as we seem to fall further behind in some subjects.
I can't be the only one. What are some strategies that have been helpful in your homeschools? Any thoughts? I have tried a few different things but am open to hearing any and all suggestions.
