It's interesting that you say that because when I first looked at it, I thought there were just a lot of worksheets, too. I know DS needs visual interest. That's why I initially intended to use it just for the extras - art, history and music. I'm not sure what convinced me to sign up for math and LA, too. I guess I read a lot of positive comments about all the courses K-5, and I need help fitting everything in. DS really wanted to do it, too, including science (which I thought we'd continue to do on our own). The advantage of being independent is that I can skip the busy work and the review at the beginning of each new grade. It's also nice for me b/c they have a lot of support available from other parents. Basically, I'm still scrambling, trying to figure out what will work for us. I'll post again, once we've had some experience with it.
