Using an online based curriculum has it’s down sides. Computer problems or internet issues, for example. But it sure beats hunting down books, paper, pencils, etc!!! Besides, T4L’s tech support is SO FAST!
I don’t know how I would have made it this semester w/ out T4L, especially these last few weeks. I have had a dear friend come in and help me(actually I help her!) do some decluttering and organizing around the house. I don’t know how school would have gotten done on those days she came(and even on days she didn’t!) were it not for T4L. There were many days when my dh oversaw everyone’s work.
T4L has really saved the day for me, but I have always wanted to go back to using Sonlight. T4L has given me the break and the boost that I have needed. I have done a few of the History readings. And I can actually picture myself cracking open more of the Sonlight books and reading them to the kids. Until then, I am still depending mostly on t4l for everything. And I do believe I will still do t4l for some subjects for at least 3 of my 5 students this upcoming school year.
My plan is to pay the few bucks to have our accounts held, so we don’t lose the records. I will take off at least a month.
I have been meaning to make the comment that I don’t feel a bunch of computers are needed to school more than one child as I like to oversee everyone’s lessons.My thoughts are that I might like to have one more computer, but I am definitely ok having just one computer for the 5 students that I have.

I see how you would need more computers in your situation.
Have you ever tried the public library? I haven’t yet, but they have computers and I could have all 5 students do their lessons at once. Especially if we went during the day, I am sure all the children’s computers would be free.
T4L definitely reduced stress around here, too. Without t4l, I probably couldn’t use my favorite homeschool curriculum.

Jennifer,
I feel much the same way. T4L is just what we needed. It is perfect for my 7 year old. I have no doubt that I will hold his account over the summer and continue on in the fall.
I am not sure with my others. I do know that using T4L really reduced my stress this semester!
As far as the computer issue, I am sure I would continue with at least two kids if we had another computer. My husband works from home and my highschooler does some online classes, so it is really hard with one computer!
