I’m new to homeschooling and have been doing soooo much research. This is by far one of the best reviews/explanations I have seen. Thank you!!!

[@AmandaMelrose]

Thank you so much! Congratulations and best wishes to you!

[@lesmypaula9795]

Agreed 👍🏽

[@MrsAuraR]

We need more T4L families on KZbin! Thx u. We like T4L! So easy for me to stay on track. The reports are easy upload n send out.. our days are easy n short. The program is very comprehensive And easy to follow. Homeschooling 2- now 10th grade and 3rd grade in NYC.

[@sam4auto]

Hi, can I email you? We are in NYC also, and have questions how to enroll our children to Time4Learning and how it works...how to start all of this. My younger will be 6 in September. But the main question is it okay by New York law to go to such school? Cause department of education tells that it's required to go to public school and we have options of homeschooling... Anyway how to let them know I want my kid go homeschool? Thank you very much in advance!

We are just now starting homeschooling here in Texas and I think I have watched all your review videos on curriculum. Thank you for the time you take to record these reviews, it has helped me a lot. Will be starting our second grader on a Time 4 Learning. We are pretty nervous, but it should work out for us.

I’ve been homeschooling for over 10yrs. I’ve heard good things about a time4learinging but I’m just not seriously considering it for my oldest child who is struggling with math. I just want to thank you for the detailed video I definitely appreciate seeing you go through it and watching a lesson. I think I’ve decided to go ahead and use a time4learning next year

[@AmandaMelrose]

I'm so glad you found it helpful! We're lucky to have so many good math resources for homeschoolers. Have you looked into some of the standalone online math programs? There are some great options out there.

Hi Amanda, I love your channel and your reviews! About this programme- I was just thinking this is great as EXTRA to add to ''regular'' (or public) school. It is not overloading with PDF and very good for extra practice

[@AmandaMelrose]

Yes that is true! I think many families do use it for this!

[@Cheriahdoll]

We have been using it for 3 weeks now. The glitch we have seen is my son does activities 1-3 (for example), they show done and then the next day they aren't showing as done!

[@AmandaMelrose]

I actually remember that kind of thing happening sometimes when my daughter was using the program and we'd have to go back in and skip through the lesson to get it to register as completed. I'm sorry to hear it's still an issue!

[@delilahranae3891]

I used this program years ago whilst being stationed in Korea. I recall having to go in and manually hitting completed because it won’t log it on the kid’s end if they don’t exit properly. :)

[@TeaLaRee]

I'm worried about canceling the subscription if it doesn't work out. I had to cancel our card from another program after it wasn't suitable, and they kept charging 😢. I heard some people had a difficult time with it logging actual work done. Thank you for your video. I appreciate it.

I have canceled and gone back a few times without any issues.

awesome review

[@AmandaMelrose]

Thank you so much!

[@lil-mumma-adventures]

@@AmandaMelrose 😊😊 no worries

[@ginaliske32]

Hi, thank you so much for your review. What if your middle schooler, needs help in some elementary subjects? How do you set that up? Or even a high schooler needs subjects in middle school. Thanks in advance.

[@AmandaMelrose]

Do you mean on time 4 learning? You can set the grade level for each subject, so they can work on different subjects at different grade levels.

[@Preservestlandry]

High school also has access to middle school subjects.

[@catherine6484]

I would be interested to see some of the middle school math. Wondering if it’s mature?

[@AmandaMelrose]

I will take a look, I've been meaning to do a high school review but middle school is a good idea as well. I did just include some of the 5th grade science in a recent video and there were still cartoon people talking though lol!

[@stephanieforrester873]

Can time4learning be used as full homeschool curriculum? It's important to me to homeschool and I am brand new ro all of this. I love that you can add a foreign language class

[@AmandaMelrose]

Yes absolutely it is a full curriculum.

[@earthangel143]

Hi! I am looking for good curriculums for my 9th grader- does this require the pages be printed or can they be done directly on, say, an ipad? Thanks! This video is so informative and helpful!

[@AmandaMelrose]

Thank you! The printables are not required they are extra material and it's up to you whether or not to include them. Hope this helps!

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

They suggest chrome or Firefox instead of safari. I have found that it varies. Tech glitches here and there. Just close the lesson and reopen it and it works. We have used it with laptops and iPads.

[@MrsAuraR]

Worksheets are a great add. I feel it’s a must to round out the learning. Like “ homework “ We use the worksheets and add workbooks for cross work…

[@zoriannacollier]

Hello, I am a committed athlete and I’m looking towards homeschooling to be able to attend my trainings, are there any specific schools that you’d recommend for someone like me who is looking for something flexible and straight forward?

[@k_lee_ms]

With the program do we have to go in and grade our kids essays and open responses? cause I'm definitely not the one that could guarantee to give them the right grade...

[@dexxstarzx]

yeah i’m pretty sure you’re supposed to do that!

[@myamuney5094]

My 5 year old is very smart. He's on 1st grade level, can read fast, write (writes short stories/poems) and can do 1st grade level math. He also knows the entire periodic table (he taught himself) he loves science and doing science experiments and art projects as well as building and making things. We do a lot of field trips and hands on learning combined with workbook. However i do want to have a daily curriculum that he can lean on. Which do you and/or other parents recommend for him? In the future when he gets older i might put him into Acellus but since he's doing so good already and is only 5 years old but gets bored if he's not challenged, MiaAcademy or Time4Learning?

[@AmandaMelrose]

He might like time 4 learning. You can choose different grade levels for different subjects so that he feels challenged.

[@zuleimarivera6635]

Hi!!! I loved your video. I would like to know if Time 4 learning has an annual membership and what your price would be for a single child.

[@AmandaMelrose]

I think this one is only monthly, which is definitely odd because most of the other online homeschooling programs do seem to offer a discount if you purchase the full year.

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

@@AmandaMelrose no, they also offer a years worth or at least they used to and yes you save money. I did a years worth for my children.

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

T4L is great. Only downside is tech glitches and the math is too advanced for each level but that’s just my personal opinion.

[@AmandaMelrose]

Yes I've noticed some glitches as well!

[@erikacarrillo2322]

I want to homeschool my daughter because she has a lot of stomach issues so she misses School often, if I home school her for a year and decides to go back to school the following year will they count the year that she was home School or will she have to repeat the year?

[@AmandaMelrose]

In the US, if she is in grade K through 8, they'll most likely go by age and not care about credits or anything like that. If she's in high school you might have more trouble. So in high school if you do this I recommend you use am accredited virtual school, and confirm with the school that they'll accept the credits when she returns.

[@ja_right]

I would love to see more about the foreign language platform. Specifically, Is 6 months of access enough to get through all of the information, or do you need to renew every 6 months, considering you are following their daily recommendation?

[@AmandaMelrose]

I assume you're meant to renew, but this is a great question. I know I need to do a review of time4languages. I will try to do it very soon!

[@bonniem3538]

Hi, can anyone please tell me if we can use an kids Amazon fire tablet with this curriculum? We're ready to sign up, but that is what we have to use right now

[@AmandaMelrose]

According to their website, unfortunately fire tablets are not currently supported.

[@bonniem3538]

@@AmandaMelrose which curriculum do you feel is most similar to this, that will allow us to work from a tablet? We're considering miacademy, but curious to hear your thoughts

[@yvesbureau]

Does Time 4 Learning test kids to see what grade they should be in ? My grandson is so smart we don’t even know what grade he should be in.

[@AmandaMelrose]

From what I recall they don't have a placement test. You get to choose what they learn, so it's very customizable for you to make sure they are learning at the right level for each subject. For example, maybe he's further ahead in reading than math or science, or vice versa? You can start by picking what you think and you can always adjust it based on whether he's finding it too easy or too challenging. Maybe start by choosing the grade level he would be in school or 1 grade up and go from there?

[@kdub7490]

We have three children who will be homeschooling and need to know if the $59.95 fee for a foreign language would cover all children enrolled under our plan or would that be $59.95 for each child? Thank you in advance!

[@AmandaMelrose]

According to their website - this fee is "per student, per language."

[@kdub7490]

@@AmandaMelrose Thank you for answering! I just called them and you're right, the fee is indeed per student. The good thing is that it isn't a monthly fee, the $59.95 covers each student for 6 mos. So, if you have more than one child enrolled and each will take a foreign language, you will have to pay the $59.95 fee for each child upfront. This fee will cover them for a six month time period, then you must pay again if you wish your child(ren) to continue taking a foreign language. Hope I'm making sense!

[@BellaDima]

@@kdub7490is itnknly for foreign language?

[@harmony7450]

Does this curriculum get you a highschool diploma. and can you do all the schoolwork on an ipad?

[@AmandaMelrose]

You can do the work on any device with an internet browser - but this is not a school. If you're homeschooling then usually the parent will issue the diploma. If you're looking for an online private school that will issue a diploma, there are other options but they are usually more expensive. The least expensive is probably Acellus Academy.

[@ambitiousbeauty1013]

How does state testing work?

[@MrsAuraR]

No actual state test. Just an annual assessment- this year we used Stanford online 10. It gave a national comparison average of other students. There’s other assessments you can use.

[@heidiwells9358]

Does it offer a way to choose your state's state standards?

[@AmandaMelrose]

That is not something that I noticed with this program, but I could be wrong!

[@sarahplife]

Between Time4Learning and Easy Peasy, which is better for STEM subjects?

[@AmandaMelrose]

Tough question as they are very different programs! Since easy peasy is free, I would say go with T4L and then see if you can add in anything from Easy Peasy where you find there are any gaps.

[@sarahplife]

That's a great idea, thanks! 😃@@AmandaMelrose

[@glorymxvo9129]

I have a question im a 9th grader and looking for home school but my schools ends in may 24 would I still be able to join

You go at your pace.. you would start the next grade. If that’s too challenging you can pace back a grade.. so you just ended the 9th grade. You would start 10th grade on T4L. If you find it a challenge bump back to 9th. She explained video…

[@centenomarc]

Is there a section for a new student to take an assesment test to see what skill level the student is at???

[@AmandaMelrose]

Not that I know of, but they do have the scope and sequence for every course and grade level so you can read through that to help you choose where to start them.

[@aprilbracken9807]

my kids are not on grade level. How is this program for kids who are behind?

[@AmandaMelrose]

You can put them in any grade level you want, and you can choose different grade levels for different subjects. You can have them do extra lessons to catch up, or skip over lessons they already know. There's a lot of personalization.

[@ourgiftisLOVE]

Is there a teacher available if the student gets stuck on a math problem?

[@momandson7836]

This!! I suck at math

[@ourgiftisLOVE]

@@momandson7836 same. I can't help my daughter, I'd rather get her a tutor.

[@AmandaMelrose]

I'm not sure if Time 4 Learning offers this. I know that Study.com has a feature where you can send a question in to an expert for help when you get stuck. I can't think of any others off the top of my head that are like that, but there must be!

[@aundry2337]

Must these be done on a computer/laptop instead of a tablet?

[@AmandaMelrose]

It doesn't have an app to download, but you can access the website from a tablet.

[@kamsanka5563]

Can you use this program for homeshool overseas

[@AmandaMelrose]

I don't see why not, but it depends of course on the homeschooling laws where you live.

[@graceskye1]

Can someone tell me what the actual name is for the NY 3rd grade math curriculum? We use time4learning. I know when my child was in school a few months ago the math was called Core but I heard it changed since then. Can anyone tell me what the "name of the curriculum" is called? We like a time for Learning and I find that its parent and child friendly however it does become mundane when you hear the little Danny DeVito sounding guy every day lol my daughter is already losing interest and its only week 6. I wish there was a way to modify the characters and voices

[@AmandaMelrose]

Is it "Next Generation"? If so, I recommend you try IXL for math because you can align it to your state standards. This is what it has listed for NY.

[@graceskye1]

We are using a time for learning. I thought it was next-gen as well, but someone told me it was not.

[@naomigarcia3438]

Is this program free and is an a credited homeschooling program

[@AmandaMelrose]

This one is not free. I think it's around $30 a month. Most of them are in that price range. Also, while some of the curriculums may claim to be accredited, only an actual school can be accredited. There are a few like Abeka or Acellus Academy but they are more expensive. Think of them like virtual schools or distance learning. Time 4 learning and other online homeschooling programs like it are more like an online curriculum, not a school. Just like if you bought the textbook curriculum and taught it yourself, only it's being "taught" online. Hope this helps.

[@Grace-th2fk]

What is better abeca or time 4 learning???

[@AmandaMelrose]

I don't think you can compare them as they are very different programs. Time for Learning is a completely online homeschooling program whereas Abeka is a program that you still need books for and do online work, but you watch video lessons which are basically just a video of the lesson being taught in a classroom. I did a review of Abeka on my channel if you want to check it out for more information!

[@Grace-th2fk]

Thank you. I want my 8yo child to write and read the books. Not only watch on the PC. Is there in T4L home school??

[@khance19]

On average how many hours of work a day is this program?

[@AmandaMelrose]

That depends on how quickly you want your child to get through the program. So you decide how many lessons they should complete each day. For elementary I wouldn't do more than 1 or 2 hours a day. You can do more for middle and high school levels.

[@themangogalaxy9587]

Are quizzes optional?

[@thejessicawilliamswithyoun4946]

Yes. Tests too.I think she shows how around 5 minutes in.

[@user-pc6wt2fz7i]

Is there a parent answer key?

[@AmandaMelrose]

Yes absolutely! You can find them on the parent dashboard. Go to lesson planning and reports, then view lesson plans. Find the subject and grade level you need. Then over on the right under resources there should be an answer key bundle.

[@colleenamarie]

When they talk through video lessons it looks like theirs lips are moving before the voice. Is it as obvious as it seems? That would drive me crazy 😅

[@AmandaMelrose]

I wonder if that's maybe just from my screen recording maybe having a delay?

[@colleenamarie]

@@AmandaMelrose oh yeah, that’s probably what it is. Thank you!

[@2jcward]

Education isn’t only about academics. Take your child to school so they learn to interact with other kids and adults. This is why homeschool kids are weird. No social skills except with their family. That’s not how the world works,😕

[@AmandaMelrose]

This isn't how homeschooling works. While many parents choose to use online homeschooling programs for some or all of the academic aspect, homeschool kids have many many opportunities for things outside the home. Homeschooling is growing so fast! There are so many homeschool groups, co-ops, homeschool classes for things like STEM, martial arts, nature, gym, sports, etc....there is so much opportunity out there. Educate yourself on today's homeschooling, you might be surprised. Especially since the academic aspect can be done so much faster and more efficiently than in a school, there's a ton of extra time for socializing and extracurriculars.

[@myraduong3200]
