3.0 out of 5 stars I'm confused, July 23, 2007

This review is from: Middle School Advantage 2008 [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

Am I out of date or is this program not for middle school? First, the work that was being asked of my daughter she did in elementary school, then I was not been able to find a way to get to the level she was working at without going step by step starting at the first level and it is like pulling teeth to get her to work on the lower levels. She is going into 7th grade and I wanted her to review some 6th grade work and learn more this summer but that probably won't happen. There should be some way to get to an appropriate level but without a manual I have not been able to find it. This program is not very user friendly.

I installed this, started using it and my son started laughing and told me that it was for kindergarten. No way this is for middle schoolers.

this program has been a wonderful tool for my daughter and she has fun using it. It has made learning easier for her, show her what she needs to work. Since she started using this (we got it for her last spring to work on during the summer) she has developed confidence in her abilities and has a more positive attitude about school.
