I’d rather see them read 6 hard novels in the year. To keep on schedule with their class, I saw them fly through material with hardly a grasp on what they had read. In this strand alone I saw them drowning. And many of them are very large, difficult reads. The literature strand had them read 18 novels in one school year. And as a home educator, the last thing I want is for my kids to look back on their high school years and all they see is work. Then they would continue to work into the weekend. On average, they would work from 8am to midnight most days. We are 100% for a rigorous and challenging curriculum. One of the major issues that we had was the workload. My teens truly loved their CC community and most of the curriculum. However, over the past year and a half, I watched my teens become more isolated and it seemed like some of the life was sucked out of them. My younger children in foundations loved it, so I can’t say they felt stressed. And I have realized that I was just trusting this program instead of keeping my eyes centered on Jesus. However, after nearly 3 years with CC, it became clear that God was leading us in a new direction. It was a blessing and it helped to grow me and my children. I will never be one to talk poorly of CC. I have even created many resources that go along with the CC curriculum, and have been helping other CC families by sharing these resources (either personally or through my website). As a passionate home educator, I found CC to be a perfect fit (or so I thought).
And I have even helped convince other moms to pull their kids from school and homeschool. I brought other homeschool moms to join our CC community. I loved it! I loved the curriculum, CC’s mission and vision, the people behind CC, the classical model, etc. We love the classical model of education and we love the community. First, I have to say how much my family has truly loved CC (Classical Conversations).
