"Switched On Schoolhouse" homeschooling program?

Question

Are the curriculums for the SOS programs up to date? Basically, will i take the same math course with this program that i would in a public school. (I think 12th grade Math is Calculus, would i have Calculus with these CD's in 12th grade?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

They are great for some people.  If you require a great deal of review in order to remember a Mathematics concept, the may not be the best choice for you.  They have a tendency to cover a concept, make you "master it " on a test, and then move on never to review it again. For some people this is great, others need to periodically do mixed review.  If you do and add to it some form of mixed review once a week, it should be fine.

Oh, the CDs would cover pre-calculus and trigonometry, Calculus is typically a College subject unless you are on the AP track.
