1 week Review of Time4Learning

So it's been about a week since my kids have started using Time4Learning. First I will say the site has helped me as a new homeschooling parent. Some things on the site still kind of confuse me, but it might be I just haven't learned the ropes of it yet. I like that it has pretty much whatever you need subject wise. I was having a hard time finding a World Geography course for my 9th grader and Time4Learning has one. On that note she doesn't care for it. She feels it is babyish her words. She also says it's very easy which she isn't complaining about, but has me wondering if this is the right curriculum for her. She is very smart and I want her to be engaged in learning at the same time I want her to be learning. She hasn't felt like she has learned anything. She said most of the stuff that she has done she already knew from elementary school. I mean I don't want to have to sit for hours on something that is extremely difficult, she needs a challenge. She says she is fine sticking with this program if I can't find anything else. I am not sure if it is worth it just for her need of the one subject. While most subjects are available on Time4Learning we are using a free site for her other subjects and happy with them.

Now my 1st grader likes the site. It is mostly easy for him to navigate around and he enjoys the cartoons and games. He is also very bright and gets through the quizzes with easy so far. I thought about placing him in the 2nd grade on the site just to see how well he would do. The site makes it easy to change grade levels so that is a plus.

My view for now is still undecided. There are pros like the ease of checking the child's work progress. I also enjoy that both children can use the site on their own without much help from me since I have a 2 year old to keep busy. While I have heard others say the price is reasonable ($19.95 per month for K-8 and $30 per month for 4 course of High School) my family finds that hard to budget right now. Well we have a whole month to try it out so I will update as we go along.

Have a great day,



We have received a free month of service for each child from Time4Learning in exchange for an honest review.

Review Time4Learning

Over the next 30 days, I will be reviewing Time4Learning. They offer an elementary school curriculum, middle school curriculum, high school curriculum, and tools like the Getting Started Homeschooling Guide. Be sure to come back and read about my experience!

I am now Homeschooling but am I doing it right?

So I took that leap of faith and I am now homeschooling! My 9th grader is happy and loves it, my 1st grader is well bored in his words. Looks like I'm going to have to figure out ways to keep him entertained. Guess we will be trying out some of those pins from pinterest. I'm sure he misses being around all the other kids that were in his class. I'm still very nervous about my decision. I mean he is doing great on papers and everything I have had him to work on, but what about when it's time to learn something new? I have been reading every homeschooling website I can find and saving them to go back to and read again! If you homeschool I would love to hear any tips or advice you might have for a newbie!
