An online academy with no limits?

I just want to take the time to say THANK YOU! I am praising the Lord daily for how things are going for us with Alpha Omega! The academy [is] working wonderfully for us. I am thoroughly enjoying my new role as helper and encourager instead of mistake-finder. The immediate feedback is something I've always thought should be inherent in homeschooling, but I was never able to make it work. Now ...more, my kids are getting that! The flexibility of the scheduling in Switched-On Schoolhouse is incredible. And although I never really tested my children before, I can see that the quizzes and tests are motivating them to take their education more seriously. So even after a summer full of stress (and worry), with placement tests, the filing away of years of a much-loved literature-based curriculum, and applications for transfer credits, I am rejoicing now! It's been worth it all. Josiah, my oldest, high school junior, night-owl, dyslexic, procrastinating, computer-programmer, who still can't spell to save his life, is finishing his lessons in a timely fashion each day and not whining about his writing assignments. And from what I've seen, he's doing well! Our newly adopted 13-year-old son from Liberia is starting to take his schooling more seriously; seeking to understand, instead of just finish! Isaac, my organized, book-loving freshman appreciates the structure, finishes early and has time to read the books he wants to. And Abigail, who's been organized and diligent, but uninterested in understanding concepts, is taking notes and learning how to study! Thanks for your part--sharing, encouraging, explaining, reassuring. God is at work in our family. You watered and tended a seed someone else planted. God has grown it to a seedling, and I'm looking forward to watching it grow and produce fruit in our family! Kim H.
