What was bad about the Saxon program for you? I liked its spaced repetition; though being taught in a private school by a retired engineer probably masked any shortcomings in the textbooks. Should I stop recommending Saxon math?
Well, I don’t actually know. I do know that math/physics in college was a lot easier, not sure if due to teacher or that it was review for me or what. I’m the sort of person that just wants to understand the concepts and really hates rote repetition, so I can’t say I enjoyed it. (I write computer programs to do the rote repetition!)
Mostly I was saying that because I had a public school math teacher express pity upon learning that I learned with Saxon. Maybe it’s just fine for some people?
