2.0 out of 5 stars
Keep Looking,
By J Keyes (Home is where the Army sends us!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2010 SOS, Grade 7, AOP 5-Subject Complete Set - Math, Language, Science, Bible & History / Geography (Alpha Omega HomeSchooling), Switched on Schoolhouse 7th GRADE, CD CURRICULUM (Office Product)
The idea of a program completely on the computer was appealing to me as a first time home-schooling mom. I bought this curriculum (2008 curriculum) for both my 7th and 8th graders. We all found the program very constrictive and quite honestly, just plain irritating! We struggled with having the right concept, sometime even answering with synonyms and the computer still telling us the answer was wrong. In a few cases more than one word is acceptable but if you are not on track with their line of thinking - you can be close but not close enough. I would have to use the parent password to figure out what EXACT answer was needed. I do mean EXACT - spelling, plural/non-plural, no synonyms, spell the number or numeric...I agree that in certain subjects spelling should be correct but sometimes learning a new concept you just need to get the concept and grasp the spelling later - even partial credit would be nice -but not with SOS. There was way more hands on involvement than I expected - I would have rather used paper/pencil workbooks like by 2nd and 3rd graders used. After paying 600 dollars for both grades we struggled through but I definitely will not buy this curriculum again.

Great Homeschooling program,
By Homeschooler Jerome "Homeschooler" (Boise, ID) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 2010 SOS, Grade 7, AOP 5-Subject Complete Set - Math, Language, Science, Bible & History / Geography (Alpha Omega HomeSchooling), Switched on Schoolhouse 7th GRADE, CD CURRICULUM (Office Product)
I have two children that used Switched on Schoolhouse 2008 (3rd grade and 6th grade)and it worked great. It automatically puts lessons on the calendar and the kids loved the learning games. It also creates report cards. If the child does a bad job on the lesson, you can reassign the work and help them to learn the material. When your child logs on, there is a screen that shows what assignments need to be done that day. I would definitely buy it again.
