Love it Kevin! And as it turns out, I have a quart of dry erase paint – this helps me see how to get it on the wall!

Thanks you, thank you, thank you for doing this! I’ve had huge problems with a lesson planning/hour tracking program I paid for last year. It just wouldn’t work on my Mac no matter what. I’ve hunted around for ANYTHING I could use on my Mac. Someone gave me your link today and I’m so glad!!

Thanks for doing this!

I signed up for the site, but when I try to log in, it just sends me to another log in page and I can’t get “into” the system. HELP!

Great post.

We use our MP3 players daily. My 7 and 9 year old memorise Scripture, multiplication tables and listen to classics. I sleep with mine.

I found out about your beta from your Davidson YS accouncement. However, I cannot get your login page to register me in the “sign up” area (no response when I click on sign up). Any help available? Thanks. I am looking forward to using this as I find other trackers cumbersome for my purposes (I am in a fairly low-key state as far as paperwork, so alot of it is for my own use and is not worth hours a day on a program).

Comment on Why use a Home School Scheduler – let me count the ways by Tavi

Scheduling is key to success for me, and of course, my success is key to my children’s.

I created a “daily schedule” template that includes a block for each subject. Each weekend, I plan the week’s lessons, noting worksheets, page numbers, etc, in the appropriate blocks. Then I staple the sheets together for my weekly plan.

This works beautifully for moving through the planned material. It keeps me on track and allows my children a look ahead. Each day, I mark off what we have completed, circle anything that we could not get to, and make notes about what needs further attention. At week’s end, I have all my notes at hand for the following week’s planning. And because I’ve made a habit of this, I am now able to put together each week, including researching materials and producing worksheets in about one hour.

At week’s end, I place the schedule in a notebook with the week’s written work behind it. At anytime throughout the schoolyear, I can easily locate items for recordkeeping, review, etc. and, best of all, my children are able to see their own progress as the notebook grows thicker.

Comment on Why use a Home School Scheduler – let me count the ways by Bernoulli

The “great idea” aspect really resonates with me. Even though it is considered a 4-letter word among homeschoolers, I do worry about “gaps”. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and think, “Oh no! We haven’t covered Geography AT ALL” and then want to somehow fold it into our curriculum. Thanks for a very interesting post and perspective.
