WE’RE QUITTING TEACHING TEXTBOOKS to address an issue that left me speechless!

We've been using Teaching Textbooks for a year and a half for my 12 year old. We switched to have another teacher help my daughter understand the math lessons, since when we had used Singapore, she and I were struggling.

It seemed to be working great! But then this past semester, I started to have concerns. And those concerns led me down a rabbit trail of "investigation" that I never expected. I started out innocently considering other math curriculums, and then I found out something completely out of left field. What happened????

EPSON ECO-TANK PRINTER: I've printed more than 1,000 pages this summer and that ink tank has barely budged!!!!! https://amzn.to/43Dp9V6

CHAPTERS:
00:32 What is our experience with Teaching Textbooks? Why was it "working?"
02:04 Why did I begin to question if this was a good fit for us?
03:59 Curious, I began looking, JUST TO SEE if there was a better fit. We did a placement test from The Good and the Beautiful Math.
06:24 Is this the curriculum's issue?
07:34 What does she need to learn? Do we really need to repeat EVERYTHING???
09:25 As were figuring out our strategy....here's what I didn't expect to discover.
10:42 So, what now? Where do we go from here? What's the plan?
11:13 Tips on printing the FREE TGATB Math curriculum....I wish I would've realized this!
13:15 Why are we trying out TGATB math vs. a different homeschool math program like Saxon?
14:16 These "cons" of teaching textbooks, I'm realizing....ended up being real disadvantages for us.
15:25 Is TGATB Math going to be as EASY for Mom as Teaching Textbooks was?
