Teaching Textbooks Geometry
Geometry has been my ‘A’ homeschool student’s downfall. She loved the Rod & Staff math program, but that ends at 8th grade. For ninth grade, we started Geometry with a ’standard’ textbook. She HATED it! We suffered through us trying together ( no good!); a private tutor (a math grad student from a nearby ivy-league college); finding him ineffectual and expensive, we ‘dumped’ him; then, she tried boarding school (still couldn’t ‘get’ geometry, even with a ‘real’ high school teacher) and came home again; then, we changed textbooks — and that’s when… the cheating started! Mom had a FIT!!!!! Daughter was properly humbled, but, having ‘failed’ four times, balked at starting again. I couldn’t blame her ( I’m not a ‘math’ lover), but I couldn’t let her get away with giving up, either. THEN, I saw the write-up on Teaching Textbook GEOMETRY. It seemed too good to be true — a very clear, self-teaching, method for geometry that was fun and required no parental input. Before I sent for it, I showed her the information in your catalogue, and she was so excited that she asked every day if it had come yet. ( Deep down, she didn’t really want to give up…) When it arrived, she grabbed it and vanished into her room. Emerged several hours later with a big bright smile and the news that she had done the first THREE lessons and gotten 100% — AND SHE UNDERSTOOD IT!! Since that thrilling start, she has blasted through the book, achieving her goal of three lessons a day and !00% scores (honestly). She’s now through the first third , in less than ONE month, with genuine scores of 100%. Without being pushed or harassed. Even without watching her DVD, although it feels secure to have it. Thank you!!! We LOVE this system! We’re looking forward to the next book.
