The fact that the usual suspects in the media arm of the OIC (Omni-Industrial Complex) are churning out stink-pieces about homeschooling with increasing frequency should tell you everything you need to know about the trend. But enough about that.

I was actually introduced to Abeka when I was attending a private Christian school before my brief stint in public school immediately prior to homeschooling. I never had any experience with Bob Jones, but up until today, I never heard anything good about it. By the time I started "high school," I was taking correspondence courses through the University of Missouri, which was pretty fun. Some time after getting my engineering degree, I had started to hear rumours that Abeka was declining in quality along with pretty much everything else, so perhaps you might be interested in comparing your old school books to their newer editions, assuming you still have them. I gave most of mine away, with the obvious exception of my Russian books, though I wouldn't be surprised if my sister asks for those soon. Her oldest turns 5 this year, and she turns 40, which I am extremely tempted to tease her about.
