[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are grown now, but when they were little, I started to teach Math to them, way before they began their formal schooling. I am a SAHM. There was a chance in my DH's work that we would move to another country and if that happened I did not want my kids to be behind in coursework in another country. I had access to curriculum and material from 3-4 different countries, so I could cherry-pick curriculum/textbooks and basically gave them a STEM and Humanities education that they would not get in US. When my kids started school, they were really ahead of their peers by several years and so they breezed through school. They won spots in the magnet programs which was a lot better than the general education they were getting in school, and I continued supplementing them or teaching them subjects not covered at their school/grade in US. Acceleration, supplementation and enrichment by me actually turbocharged their brain in a way that they could self-learn at a very rapid pace on their own too. My kids are not geniuses by any means but because they have been taught a variety of subjects from a very young age by me, learning has come very easy to them. [/quote] which curriculum did you use, specifically?[/quote]
