Since listing my 2013-2014 curriculum choices, I have received dozens of emails from mommas all asking the same question...
Why did you switch from A Beka math to Teaching Textbooks?
Followed by the next logical questions...
How do you like Teaching Textbooks? And why are your younger kids still using A Beka?

Naturally, I wanted to give
Teaching Textbooks a full year before giving my "official" review.
So...
Today's the day. Here's the skinny...
I switched because I'm a busy momma trying to juggle four grade levels and a toddler and quite frankly, something had to give!
I needed an easier workload.
There, I've said it.
In an attempt to lighten my load and maintain a certain level of school day sanity, I knew I needed to delegate one or two subjects to someone or something else. Although I was an "A" student in most of my math classes, it was never my favorite subject. Since, for the first four years of her education, it tended to be the subject that my daughter disliked the most also, it was the clear choice for CHANGE.
