Updated Review

As posted below, I was invited to try Time4Learning's online education program.  I found it when seeking out educational enrichment ideas for Peter.  He is a very smart kid and we wanted some way to enhance his education.  Both of my older sons took turns trying it out.  They both really loved the math section.  Neither one of them wanted to try the language arts or science sections and I didn't force them to much since we were just trying it out. 

I think this program would be great as a supplement to an education.  Whether it be for a home-schooled child or a publicly educated child.  It would help to reinforce what they are learning in a fun and interactive way.

We were looking for something that doesn't supplement but enriches.  Because Peter already knows everything in school we were looking for something that could help him continue to move ahead at his level.  Unfortunately, I don't think this program is thorough enough to provide us completely with that.  I think it could more thorough if it had more than one lesson on each subject.  But as it was, Peter would go through the lesson doing all of the activities and answering the questions.  Then he would take the quiz and that was that.  While it doesn't take him more than 2 or 3 times to have something down, I do think he would need it at least  2 times.

All in all, we thought it was a great and fun program.  It just didn't fit our needs exactly but for anyone looking for something to supplement their child's education I would definitely recommend Time4learning.com.

Thank you for sharing your views about Time4Learning. We hold a different view of T4L, and that might be because my daughter learns differently than your children. We use it for core and suppliment around it. Isn't it great that as homeschoolers we have the option to educate our children in the way that is best for them? Thanks again for your candid review!
