These are the problems I have with t...Great review. These are the problems I have with the curriculum.<br /><br />1. You leave out one word of a Bible verse, and its five points off a test. <br /><br />2. The math paces suck. No explanations and not enough problems to fully get it.<br /><br />3. So much emphasis on evangelism. In the middle of school books.<br /><br />4. Reading about the same characters for years is boring. And not very creative. <br /><br />5. Learning is facts, not thinking, and this can mean a lot of gaps, especially in subjects like history.<br /><br />6. The speech paces in high school are the stupidest thing ever. Seriously, how does that prove your ability to speak in public?<br /><br />7. Music paces are easy if you know music, impossible if you don't.<br /><br />8. The KJV memorization is annoying. Downright. <br /><br />9. English is too meticulous. I am an English teacher. I majored in English. I'm an English nerd. And I can say transitives and intransitives and half the other grammar is over the top for kids. In one high school pace, you have to memorize the grammar rules word by word. Why not memorize the concept?<br /><br />10. The dinosaur and evolution comments are laughable.<br /><br />11. The paces also put down socialism, unmercifully so, and leave no room for Christians to disagree. <br /><br />12. There are racists comments in there.<br /><br />13. Women are taught to submit. In the middle of the English pace. Come on.<br /><br />14. Physical science will give you a headache beyond yourself. <br /><br />15. The Bible paces in high school are such a joke. On one 9th test the answer to every question is "true."<br /><br />16. The literature worksheets in middle school are a bear. They ask the stupidest questions that no one cares about. And it proves nothing of what you know or don't know.<br /><br />17. The literature is too many missionary books and not enough good literature. Especially for high school who should get to read more classics.<br /><br />18. One pace says dance is a sign. And not just a sin. It said all dancing is a sin.<br /><br />19. The algebra and geometry videos are way too expensive and little more than a teacher just reading the problem.<br /><br />20. The paces are more about writing the answers in complete sentences in their words than explaining any concepts.<br /><br />21. In chemistry you can't keep the periodical chart open for tests. <br /><br />22. Word building will mix some fourth grade level words in an 8th grade level book, which means you are writing four letter words you can already spell over and over again. <br /><br />23. All the paces are about good handwriting, pace after pace. Its over the top for the information age.<br /><br />24. Typing isn't introduced until high school, and the report for the typing credit is a joke.<br /><br />25. It seems every year the paces go into detail about the reformation theologians, yet skipping other what happens all around the rest of the world. <br /><br />26. Some of the paces are older than me. The pictures are boring.<br /><br />27. Apparently America was the most godly place ever. According to ACE.<br /><br />28. If you use the ACE cirriculum, you will go craaaaaaazy. Welcome to class Christi, Pug, and Ace. <br /><br /><br />Anyone is welcome to repost this as long as they link to me. I'm completely on your page about this.
