7 books?

My new hobby is obsessing over what curriculum to use for next year. I don't think I have ever been as indecisive as I am this year.

R is not quite 9th grade yet but she is kinda.......but not really. Very confusing. She is doing Spanish (same books as Oak Meadow) and I am most definitely giving her high school credit for that.

I picked out Prentice Hall Literature stuff that I really like. Added to that would be writing assignments and we usually land reading 2 novels a month.

I was comparing my plans to Oak Meadow for 8th grade english. They read 7 novels for the school year. Thats it!!! 7 novels!! Helloooooooo...............that is not nearly enough.

Then to make me even more happy I decide to go investigate Indiana University high school. They had sent me info and I had read positive feedback about them. Their 9th grade English class is like a 7th grade english class. Very easy. Very odd. Definitely not for us.

I'm trying to make things simpler for me and have R be more self-sufficient/interested/finish her work on time, etc.

Still more planning to do.

Not to mention I had 3-4 books for R to read through this summer and we have made it through 1. Not a happy parent.
