What to teach?

When I was looking for middle school curriculum for home school, I felt like Goldilocks. This book is too easy, this book is too hard. Not much on the market for middle school.



The Core Curriculum guidelines tell what to teach, but not how or what resources to use. There are expensive pre-made curriculums you can buy. And, then hope they work for your child. And, make modifications, lots and lots of modifications, to fit what your child needs. Too many of the lessons you can buy are religious based. I won’t go into that argument, but suffice it to say that those were not the rigorous content I was looking for.

So, I am writing the lessons myself, bit by bit. By bit. By bit.

In the next few posts, I’ll share the steps.
