Have you gone through German 1 from OSU?

My son will be completing the first year of German
during the summer. He is on unit 7.

I found what looks like an interesting Bible "thing" to do. My ds, who will be in 10th grade next year is going to be doing it. It's from Queen Homeschool and is called "Preparing for Spiritual Leadership, A Bible-Based Study for Young Men." It has 24 lessons, which can be done approx. 1-2 per week, depending on how much time they want to spend. I think it will be very good for my ds to go through that! Just thought I'd suggest it, since I just received it and it looks very interesting.

Carol,
I am looking for German study program too. Do you like OSU? On unit 7 of how many? How many hours does your son spend weekly? Pros/Cons? Thanks.

Brindee,

Thank you for the Bible suggestion-I never knew this existed
and every man needs to learn about spiritual leadership!

OSU German. I have been very pleased with this.
They don't bill you until you've tried it for a while.
There are 10 units. We have gotten off schedule.

In the beginning the child gets 3 attempts at test and
quizes then it is 2. The best one counts.
A german teacher talks to the child once a week-you call
at scheduled time-for usually 15 min. It can be more
or less depending on what they feel your child needs that
week. In the beginning it didn't take much time at all.
But now I'd say about an hour a day.

You pretty much can take as long as necessary to
complete the course. Cost is $389 and does not have to
all be paid up front. It does not count as dual enrollment.

Hope this helped.

Off topic but would you mind sharing his experience and decision on why he decided to come home?

[carol]

Academically the school is rated within the top ten private schools here in
Alabama.

My son takes his faith serious. He couldn't believe how little was taught
in Bible. He couldn't believe the amount of cheating in Biology and
sometimes even in Bible. Dealing with peers was one thing but the
Biology teacher was the kicker-he implied God created the earth through
evolution, he also implied if the kids needed more study time then
study during youth group, etc. My son was appauld that biology should
take precidence over youth group.


My son says the Bible tells you, you become like those you spend most
of your time with. He doesn't want to be in that environment all day.

He didn't seem to have many issues with the math teacher and
no matter what program I've used he doesn't get it, but did well
with this teacher. Though it will definately be an inconvenience to
drive him for just one course, it is a sacrafice I'll have to make in
order for him to understand math without being submerged in a
negative environment all day.
