[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not too worried about Saxon. They cycle through prior material and keep it fresh with each section. And the AZ Basis kids are absolutely killing it on the APs, with some phenomenal results, so obviously they are picking up the concepts as well. As for "enrichment" - unless your kid absolutely loves math and does it just for the pure joy of it, I don't think you can realistically expect to pile on a whole lot more without sucking every last minute of daylight and every last ounce of joy out of your kid's life.[/quote] Saxon itself is not that great at concepts. Basis requires math teachers to have math degrees, though (or some mathematical subject, like physics). So, the teachers usually know where to supplement the material. They seem to be doing a very good job of it -- far better than their competition. Saxon home schoolers are notoriously weak at theory. I wouldn't recommend it without proper support.[/quote]
