Saxon Math, old editions, goes up through calculus and physics and includes trig/geometry throughout.
Easy Grammer.
J Wile's science textbooks. The original series was titled "Exploring Creation With Science" and covered chemistry, anatomy, etc. The original publisher kiked out so he's re-writing the textbooks again himself.
Introductory and Intermediate Logic by Jim Nance.
Make them memorize vocabulary and study Latin.
Read real history texts and as many original source books as possible.
It doesn't have to be super complex. Reading, writing, and arithmetic. And sprinkle in utility topics and real life skills. Teach them how to learn rather than focusing on a shitload of material. It's shockingly easy to teach a kid well enough at home that they'll wipe the floor with the GED and both public and private school PSAT/SAT/ACT scores, even by old non-affirmative action standards. Encourage them to learn a trade and build those skills early.
I would add regular phonics. Mooncricket, I applaud you for doing the right thing for your kids!!!!! You will reap the rewards as they get older, I guarantee it! You are THE best teacher!
You know what. Kids don't necessarily need science classes.
Just language skills. History. Social skills Home keeping Time with parents
Chemistry, anatomy, and earth sciences are critical.
I recommend the great courses plus, I used their math and science courses when I was homeschooled it's been some time but I see no reason they would need to re-teach those lessons, I used VHS and DVD tapes, I did saxon math all but one year and frankly I liked the great courses more.
I have no clue if they have become POZZED today but it was all no nonsense white male professors when I used their videos.
If your kid can't sit still, pay attention, and actively listen and incorporate knowledge they'll just be a waste of money, if your kid loves learning the information will soak right in.
I would watch a science lecture with my lunch every day.
Chemistry, anatomy, and earth sciences are critical.
Absolutely. People with little or no knowledge of things like physics and chemistry fall prey to stupid ideas like "5G kills people" or "crystals have healing power." When they understand how the world works they understand why those things are stupid.
OK. What has chemistry done for average Joe in their life time?
They should be taught practical, observable sciences & engineering, and creativity & resourcefulness in those areas should be encouraged as much as possible. Whenever they are ready to learn those things & be trusted with that knowledge.
You may not agree with Evolution, but micro-Evolution is undeniable. It's a good way to introduce an understanding of genetic inheritance & racial differences.
Fitness/ Health should also be a high priority.
I really hope my kids want to learn grappling, because it's one of the few things I'm genuinely very good at, aside from shit posting.
