There is a great forum for members thinking about using time4learning. It might answer some of your questions. My son and I have used this program for over six years now. We love it. He loves the cartoon like format of the early lessons. I love the ease of use and the great record keeping.

Hi, If you are thinking of homeschooling, you might want to read the free ebook, Welcome to Homeschooling, A Guide for New and Potential Homeschoolers. Disclosure, I was one of the original authors but it has had several updates through the years. The Guide is a compilation of the advice that experienced homeschoolers would give to someone who is thinking of or starting to homeschool It covers points like:
- homeschooling - it's about your child, it's time to get to know their learning patterns
- where to start? You can't do it all at once.
- connecting with other homeschoolers - You will NOT like all the ones you meet but there's so many possibilities that you shouldn't give up
etc
