Saxon Math

For those of you that are currently homeschooling or thinking about homeschooling, I'd like to share my thought on Saxon's Math program. All in all I'd have to say Saxon Math is the best curriculum (for any subject) I have ever come across. It is a complete and intense system.

But 1 warning: Saxon is not for the faint of heart. It is not the kind of program that has you hand your kid a worksheet and walk away. Saxon Math is very heavy on parental involvement.

From the reviews I've read, people either love Saxon or hate it. Here are a few links for Saxon Math reviews:

While I'm at it, I thought I'd throw in some links to homeschool artices:
