my take on Miacademy
I like that this curriculum includes all subjects for a well-rounded education. I appreciate the extra curricular activities offered. I feel that the pdf booklets you can order are a great supplement to the lessons. We've used the Ancient History and US Government booklets so far. The social aspect adds to the experience, as my son has enjoyed creating things to share with the Miacademy community. And Miacademy keeps it safe by requiring the parent and Miacademy staff to approve what the student wants to share before it's posted for the Miacademy community to see. Basically it's a prequal to social media. There are a couple things I don't care for, however. I don't like all the time spent on the computer, and for that reason I've sourced book curriculum from other companies for science and language arts. I don't like that the math curriculum doesn't provide explanations for the problems the students get wrong. How are they supposed to know where they went wrong?! All in all we've had a pretty good experience thus far!
