good points. My son has been in public school up to fourth grade. We have
tried the Saxon seriously for three years and he gets very frustrated with
it. I think he gets confused with the constant review and tends to focus on
one thing at a time. He asked me to find a math program that focuses on one
area at a time. He does have a learning disability. Saxon just isn't working
for him. My daughter likes it though.
