I guess my question is, do you do what the HS program requires and then add what you need to add/ or do you just not do that lesson/ or do I need to find a different HS program?


This is why I never bought/used a curriculum package for our first year and why I usually recommend to others not to. I find it hard to make them fit the kids' needs, especially the first year or so when you're still figuring out what your kids' needs are.

Yes, I would absolutely do what you're doing and just follow your DD's lead. Unless there's some reason to think that your child is falling behind, why teach lessons that your child doesn't need?

BTW, my son would have been annoyed with the notion that there are only 3 states of matter. It sounds like K12 isn't mentioning plasma, and plasma is fab! wink
