Trill most of the blogs that I have seen and read from homeschoolers seem to do their curriculum in a natural learning style as they disagree with the rigidness and the way curriculum is taught in schools and that is the reason why they are homeschooling ITMS??? Yes they would have a guide of what they want to teach but if you are simply going to try and replicate what schools do I would send them to school Thats JMO though!!
