Hi,
I noticed your Dr. Phil post about how you disliked the religious content of Switched On Schoolhouse. Did you know that OdysseyWare by Pathway Publishers is a parallel CD-Rom curriculum with no religious content, it meets state academic standards, and is used in public and possibly some private schools?
It is made by a different company, but I think they used Switched On Schoolhouse as their model, and then designed it to be used in non-religious public or homeschool settings by removing the religious content, replacing it with standard content for that subject, and then aligning it to required state academic standards.
They will sell it to homeschoolers, but it is more expensive. Switched on Schoolhouse is $209-$299 per year for a 5 subject set, and Odysseyware is $150 per subject, with no price breaks for buying a set, so Math, Language Arts, Science, and History/Geography would be $150 x 4 = $600--but I think electives may come with some of the courses at no extra charge, I am not sure..
Just thought I would let you know about this option is there. Good Luck! Kathy
