For us (and I’m sure many families) we don’t always have time to spend 6 hours on school work every single day of the week. One hour of individual work is a hefty load. Time- It is recommended that students spend 1 hour on each strand per day.I am sure that this really depends on your child and your community- do you have a kiddo who will be ok feeling a little “lost” during one of the class strands? Do you have a tutor who is ok with kids not participating in one strand? There are lots of other curriculum options that I would love to use, but ultimately when committing to CC Challenge there is not time for much else. If you choose to completely eliminate a subject, you are ultimately limiting their ability to participate in class. Yes, as the parent you can make certain tweaks within the framework of the CC curriculum but for your student to participate in class you have to commit to doing the CC selected assignments, books, papers, and projects. Lack of Subject Choices- Everything is laid out for you- which can be a comforting pro but it also means you have less ability to customize your child’s education.Make sure you meet the tutor for your community. However, I have included this on the pros and cons list because every community and every tutor is different. Tutor- Having adult mentors (other than mom & dad) can be such a positive influence in a child’s life! I love that my children have gained so many wonderful role models in our community.This is one of my favorite aspects of the Classical Conversations program as a whole.
