Pros

Cons

• Overwhelming workload: The sheer volume of work assigned can lead to burnout for both students and parents. We had to reduce by about 30% to make it manageable. — Reddit r/HomeschoolRecovery
• Excessive busywork: There are frequent quizzes, lengthy reviews, and repetitive exercises that sometimes feel unnecessary. — Hip Homeschool Moms
• Rigid structure: The program leaves little room for creativity or adaptation to different learning styles. It's very much a "school at home" approach. — TheHomeSchoolMom Review
• Cost barrier: The expense is significant and can be prohibitive for many families, especially with multiple children. — Homeschool.com Review
