Create-your-own Curriculum Chaos
Been there, done this? Sometimes we try to save a buck, only to waste hours of precious time. Learn how this mom went from curriculum-creating chaos to hassle-free homeschooling…I gathered the materials from here, there and everywhere. I read what the state required and thought, “I can do this easy.” WRONG! I was miserable trying to make sure we covered enough in each subject. I lost money, time and gained a ton of grey hair.
I would not recommend this method, as it obviously is hit or miss. My best cost cutting tip? Buy an already put together curriculum! Saves time, saves those messy “what do I do now” moments, and makes life smoother and easier for all. I am shopping now for a set curriculum for our next year of homeschooling. I will never wing it on my own again!
Yikes! I think most of us have experienced those stressful homeschooling situations. Sometimes we try to do it ourselves to save a buck, only to waste hours of precious time! Finding affordable, all-encompassing curriculum is a life-saver for those of us who have been there, never do that again! Thanks for sharing. :)
