That does sound promising!
And to sunnyday's experiences, I'd agree that there are pluses to actual instructors versus parental winging! But other than not realizing that using a curriculum written in UK English would cause DC to miss placing into precalc in grade nine because a number of terms were different (surd vs radical, anyone?), I think DC found our low-key homeschooling left very few holes. I will say that I do wish I'd given this particular, quite math-y DC the problem-solving depth of AOPS (although the Singapore secondary syllabus was pretty strong in this area too).
And yeah, waiting to see some study skills over here, too, at least in math!
Me: "How many hours are you spending on your DE calc II class?"
DC: "One, or two when there's an exam."
Me: "Two hours a day?"
DC: "No, a week."
DC has not done a single problem set all semester, nor did we ever acquire the textbook. Average: 100+
