We are heavily leaning toward homeschooling this year because of the state of the world right now. It’s something I have looked into in the past as well but wasn’t really pushed to it. My kids will be 1st grade and 4th grade. It’s overwhelming to start from scratch.

[@yelortiz]

We enjoy BJU distance learning too. 2020-2021 will be our second year using BJU! We will have students in 5th, 6th, and 10th. We definitely enjoy History, English, and Science the most for all our students. I’m going to try the free lessons from Teacher Text Books. Let see how it will work for us. Thank you Becky!

[@suzannebenitez9720]

Thank you for your videos! They are all so helpful and encouraging! I have the same comforter, how do you keep yours looking so nice, do you steam it?

[@Creolelady98]

I’m starting homeschooling for my son next week. The homeschool store recommended the BJU Press math for my 3rd grader. I did get the teachers manual but I’m still so nervous because I absolutely hate math! Lol.

[@brybryzz]

I do all of my subjects with BJU. I’m in 9th grade 😊

[@melclarkedu]

How do you like it

[@amandacarroll9611]

Our oldest is going into 5th grade this fall. We've used only A.C.E. curriculum. But I've always been terrible in Math! I feel like she's going to need something different for Math this year. ACE is a good curriculum, but it can be very repetitive and doesn't really keep her interest. I want to start her and our other 2 on Teaching Textbooks. It looks like they'd really like it, and would absorb more of what they're learning. What level would you suggest starting her in as far as TT and BJU? Shes very smart and on her grade level in Math, and probably 6th or 7th grade level in reading. Same for our other 2. Our middle child is on 4th grade level. Our youngest is 6, and seems to struggle with reading, but is comprehending Math quite well.

[@lisachristinaconfirmed5067]

I’ve heard good things about BJU, what curriculum do you suggest for a 13 yr old child /8thgrade who has struggled with ELA ?

[@2Behold2]

Hi. Thank you for your video. I'm new at this. Just wondering about "placement" quizzes. I'd like to get an idea at the beginning, of what level our student is stating at, for each subject. Thanks in advance.

[@Whyonearthhomeschoolbec]

I recently had a look at their Biblical Worldview course. It seems very rigorous and well-though-out.

[@lizee708]

We love BJU, using English and Math.

[@movchanhomes695]

I’m also in Kentucky. Georgetown area :-) so glad I found you. My boys are in Summit Christian but we want to do home school

[@aplacetonest]

Hello and welcome! I hope you'll find lots of homeschooling motivation and help here! :)

[@StaceyYoder]

Interested video. Thanks

[@aplacetonest]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@tess04231211]

Great video, TY My original plan WAS teaching textbooks for my upcoming 6th grader He says -after the samples - that he doesn't want to work online 😳🤷‍♀️🤣 So, ok I'm leaning towards BJU math, do you happen to know if they are on level with grade level?

[@vanessastorm2132]

Thanks for this video! It just solidified my decision to go with BJU Press for my two kiddos in school! I cannot wait to get started! When do you normally start your school year?

[@aplacetonest]

I'm so glad it was helpful! We usually start mid-August and are done by the end of April. We don't take a lot of long or unnecessary breaks so we can get done "early."

[@vanessastorm2132]

Excellent! Oh, that sounds like such a short year. I love that even more. @@aplacetonest

[@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

I don't use BJU, but have looked in to it a ton! The thing I want to "outsource" is English. When my daughter gets to 2nd grade I might use English 2 with distance learning. 🙂

[@aplacetonest]

You will love it!

[@denisejohnson4037]

@@aplacetonest Please tell me you used their newest version of english 3? If so, do you still feel the same way about it? I haven't been able to find any reviews on it.

[@SuperTopher01]

I ordered BJU Science and also the Home Science Tool kit thanks to you. I am now deciding should I teach this or should I use the distant learning? Do you still follow along for your daughters distant learning Science? Does she enjoy it? Thank you.

[@aplacetonest]

I guess that depends on how much time you have and if you feel comfortable teaching it. I've done DLO and parent-led and I like both. My oldest prefers DLO but my youngest prefers me to teach her so I try to do a mix of parent-led and online classes to please her but also help me to have some "free time" to get other things done.

[@chiaraboccelli4189]

Definitely, if you decide to use BJU Press get the teacher’s manual. You won’t regret it!

[@munninoorani]

Nice video

[@faithlong4487]

Do you recommend the Teacher's Guide for the BJU English younger grade levels? Trying to decided if it is worth the investment or if I can do without :)

[@aplacetonest]

Yes, I really do! I know it's pricey but I think it's so worth the investment. I talk more about it in this video in case you haven't seen it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZzbXnSsmdh-frM

[@jessicaTX964]

How much do you usually ask when you resell curriculum? Like as a percentage of what it would cost new? I'm trying to decide...

[@aplacetonest]

I guess that depends on how motivated you are to sell but typically, I start at about half of what I paid. Before listing anything, I'd look to see if anybody else is selling what you have and the condition of what they're selling. If what you have is newer, or in better condition, you might want to price yours a bit above theirs.

[@stevenjulie4698]

I'm new to homeschooling my k5 daughter. If I do distance education, do I need the teachers manual. No, right?

[@aplacetonest]

No, you don't need it. :)

[@marthachavez3131]

Hi. I just got my DLO BJU based on your recommendation from previous videos and the textbooks and workbooks look amazing. I have one question for you, where do you sell your used books? What service? This will be first year homeschooling and I would like to know where I could sell them once We are done using them. Thanks.

[@aplacetonest]

Great! I hope you love it as much as we do! I usually sell my old curriculum to other homeschoolers I know or on Facebook Marketplace. I've also sold things on eBay before but I don't do that much anymore because it seems eBay has had lots of scammers lately. : (

[@marthachavez3131]

A Place to Nest thank you for your reply. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@tonjaduncan0315]

Do I need the teacher’s manual for bju distance online?

[@aplacetonest]

No, you won't because the instructor will be teaching all of the lessons and any work you need to grade, you can find the answer keys for in the Parent Dashboard of your online account.

[@MLC.43]

Did you use BJU english 1? I’m trying to decide between BJU and Abeka for first grade English for next year. I can’t find many reviews on BJU english 1.

[@aplacetonest]

We didn't use it that far back. I think we started it with level 2 or 3.

[@kenber2005]

Can you start this program half way through the year? We only have 6 months of school remaining, but my 6th grader wants to home school. It's getting too much here in California.

[@aplacetonest]

Yes, you can! Of course, you won't finish it by the end of the school year but that's ok.

[@doulaolgamke]

Very helpful video. How long does it take you to teach each child English? Also if you have tried their spelling and Handwriting do you think they are self explanatory and teachers guide is not needed.

[@aplacetonest]

I haven't tried BJU's spelling or handwriting but their grammar/writing lessons typically take 10-20 minutes per lesson.

[@Ho_Hop]

We love BJU grammar, reading, and spelling. BUT the Math 3 weeks in we are changing to teaching Textbooks. My daughter did Saxon in her private school last year for grade 2 and moving to BJU math 3 was a huge jump. She was not getting the concepts and it moved too quickly ahead. Math became a fight not fun for her or me. I don’t suggest new homeschoolers get the math. Very overwhelming.

[@aplacetonest]

I've never used BJU for math for we love Teaching Textbooks so I hope it's a better fit for you!

[@denisejohnson4037]

I'm using Saxon once my daughter gets done with Abeka. Did you like Saxon?

[@Ho_Hop]

@@denisejohnson4037 My daughter did not like looking at the full page of problems she would get very overwhelmed. So I would not go back to Saxon. She loves TT and we use Masterbooks along with it and she loves it. We’ve been doing both since September and it’s going very well and I plan to do the same next year.

[@jessicaherrera7900]

Do you use the Dvd part of BJU Press? It says on their site you have to return the dvds or you will be charged $1000 total if you do not. That sounds crazy. You dont actually own the materials. Its so expensive and you have to return it. It sounds wierd. Do you watch the videos? I'm bummed out because it seemed so good.

[@aplacetonest]

There are also video lessons that don’t require discs and that’s what we’ve always done.

[@jessicaherrera7900]

@@aplacetonest Are they the online lessons? Thanks for getting back to me.

[@sailorgirlk1]

Do you suggest the whole kit for science?

[@aplacetonest]

I think you definitely need the Teacher’s Manual, textbook and workbook. You can probably get by without the tests but they aren’t very expensive and I always like having them.

[@sailorgirlk1]

A Place to Nest thank you, that is helpful!

[@aplacetonest]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@somanyplusme7437]

Found you on Til Vacuum Do Us Part :)

[@MarcelaVeronica]

Love her channel too!

[@Whyonearthhomeschoolbec]

haha

[@michellechannell1219]

I would love to know how you and your daughters like the History. We are using BJU Press English 6 and Writing & Grammar 8 this year.

[@Dreblueskies]

Are you classical in your homeschool style?

[@marcib6767]

I think she’s eclectic - most homeschoolers are eclectic homeschoolers, it seems. I know I am! 😂

[@Whyonearthhomeschoolbec]

I think BJU is more of a traditional homeschooling program

[@abesapien9930]

There are never ANY good reasons to have anything to do BJU. I played in a Romeo and Juliet Homesat production and I wish I could do something to yank it. I hate BJU with a passion, and I'm so proud I was booted out.
