Saxon

We use it at my school for 1st thru 8th . . . It is a very structured program. Overall, I don't really like it, although I do like the fact that it provides continual practice of skills already learned. I do think that's| very beneficial. My main complaint is that there's really no built in ways to help out students who struggle or who need a bit of enrichment. The philosophy that they'll just get more practice as they go along and eventually get it, truly doesn't work for some of my kids. I also don't like having to teach it the specific way it requires. If I had my choice, I'd like to be able to use | |
more fun, hands-on, real-world math sort of activities (to help get some of my relucant math students more interested in math), but Saxon really does none of that and doesn't allow me time for it either with the structured teaching style it has.
