Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Okay, so I know that this is so not "real learning" , but I am looking for feedback about this program. My 11 ds likes to get school over quickly and really doesn't like sitting with me and learning. He enjoys Teaching Textbooks so I was thinking that SOS might be a good option to get his "core" stuff done to free him up for what he enjoys which is reading and playing.

I am hoping it could be a good spine to our otherwise unschooly approach. You know, check off those boxes that cause so much guilt!

I used three of them. It was okay, but not great and as I remember it tried to add things to my computer that I had to unadd.

We only used Science and History this year and my son really enjoyed the program. He wants to continue with science next year, 7 grade. I have chosed something different for History though. I heard from the SOS web site that math is not that great. We are really loving TT and planning on using it for the future.

SOS is very intense and there is alot of information that could overwelm the student at first. But if your son likes to read he probably would breeze through it. I would suggest to pick only a couple of subjects to see if your ds likes it.
