Springtime questions!
Dear Dale,

It is spring, and the questions from parents struggling to figure out what to do next are coming in by the droves. Homeschooling has come a long way, and the result is many options for preparing our students for college and life. But with options come decisions and often confusion.

While we are a provider of math curriculum - our mission from the beginning was to help parents muddle through the options to get the best choices for the individual family.  The most common advice to parents when struggling over curriculum is to take the long view. What is the goal? Where are your students heading? College or not? Science, technology, medicine, engineering, liberal arts, business, or other?

In fact, we would like to hear from you. What are your issues in planning for the future? Are you more concerned about scholarship, college acceptance, or helping your students find the right career path? What are the issues plaguing homeschool parents today?  Tell us your view by sending us an email to newsletter@askdrcallahan.com.

When do I start algebra?

A common question we get from homeschooling families is "When do I start algebra?" Sometimes this question is more of an issue of "what do I do now?" when they have reached a point in 5th or 6th grade and do not know where to go. Many families are disappointed with the current math curriculum and cannot see how to get out of the trap where one vendor has you on a path from 1st grade to 12th grade.

Jacob's Algebra on DVD!

Yes, we have succumbed to the pressure. After MANY requests we are releasing Algebra based on the textbook Elementary Algebra , by Harold R. Jacobs.

We plan to release the course by June 1, 2008. Currently we have filmed the entire course and the production team is editing.

The course details will be updated - including video clips - as we get them ready.
