Ok girls....I bought the SOS curriculum for dd. I am so excited! I found it on Ebay for $75 no shipping. It is brand new and comes with everything you need to install it. DD is chomping at the bit to get this. Now...I still need to find the SOS for grade 6 or 7...or both! After the issue with the direction for repeating decimals, I have realized I need to change things asap. So if anyone has any idea of where I can look...please let me know. I have looked at homescoolclassifieds.com and Ebay...but is there anywhere else I can look to buy used or discounted curriculum? Thanks!
Hooray!!!! I am so glad you bought it! Let me know how you like it. I am planning on really changing things around next school year. Thanks for letting us know! Patty
OK, remind me again! What's SOS? (All I know is I don't use it, but I may have a friend who does. I've one person in mind. Her youngest is Rachael's age, so if she has it, she would just about be done with what you want.)
Yay! Glad you found that! That's a rare one to have no shipping! Great snag! I don't know where to find a good deal on SOS, but I wanted to congratulate you on your find!
Wow! Leslie, what a deal keep looking that's the best place to look and looks like you found a good deal.
Links Great deal Leslie I was going to give you a few links to yahoo groups that sell and buy books and other links but since I am new it wont let me :? completly understandable but frustrating. I guess if you really want them you can email me Good luck on finding new stuff! Sam
Thats great, I hope it works well for you guys. Let us know, we are going to be changing thing up next year as well. And this is one of the ones I've been looking at!
That's funny! I read the other post and thought, " I am sure Hippychick was the one I had talked to about that!" LOL Thanks!
Barnes and Noble (http://www.bn.com) as well as amazon.com sell new and used copies from their authorized dealers. Just type in Switched on Schoolhouse under search and it will bring up all new and used copies. I have used Barnes and Noble dealers before when my DH needed to buy books for college (last year) and they proved trust worthy. I have not used amazon.com personally (for used items) so I can't comment on them.
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine has a used curriculum board now too~ it's called Homeschool Buy~ and the address is www.homeschoolbuy.com
Awww mannnnnn!!1 I'm jealous now! We still have to get a computer - we have THREE MAC's in the house and not 1 PC at all! We did have a PC for a while, but God allowed us to give it to some friends who homeschool and REALLY needed it. We both felt convicted that God wanted us to do it. So I guess, if we're supposed to go with SOS I should trust that God will give us a computer, right? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I was under the impression that modern macs could run an immulation program that allowed them to run programs intended to run under windows. SOS , is not using especially sophisticated programing from what I can tell, It would seem that it would run successfully in such an environment if other more complex programs such as Microsoft office can.
