Homeschool curriculum: Time4Learning Review: Part 1: 4.5 yo interview & review

What do you like the most aboutTime4Learning?

I like playing at the Playground.

Do you use the playground after every lesson?

Yes.

What do you like the most about the Time4Learning Lessons?

I don’t know.

What can you say good about Time4Learning?

….

Who’s your favorite character?

EdMouse.

Which character do you like that most who teaches you something?

The one in Letter Stadium.

Why?

Because he’s like “Gimme an A”…”Gimme an N” “Put them together and that makes AN”.

Which character don’t you like?

I like them all.

What’s your favorite subject?

Math.

Why?

I like how they teach us. I like “take-aways” and “equals”. And, “put together”…oh, “adding” as she drew the plus-sign.

Do you like Time4Learning better than doing workbooks?

Yes.

Why?

Because Time4Learning is playing. And, I’m having much more fun than workbooks. Workbooks hurt my hands while writing. It’s just much more fun using a computer.

Did you ever write so much that your hand hurt?!

Yes.

When?

Whenever I use my hands too much they hurt.

But, you’re using your hands for the computer?

Yay, but its fun using them on the computer. I don’t get tired. I don’t have to take a break.

Who makes you take a break?

Me…I needed to take breaks with other work becuase my hands hurt.

It sounds more like you just like using the computer more, and it has nothing to do with your hands hurting.

She sighed and said “That’s true”.

So, what’s different between Time4Learning and all the other online programs, CDs or DVDs we used for home school?

It’s just that its fun.

It’s more fun than everything!!! She’s getting defensive now.

Can you explain anything in more detail for people who have never seen or used Time4Learning before?

No.

Why would you want (her best-friend’s name) to use Time4Learning?

Because its fun.

is there anything you don’t like about Time4Learning?

Yes. When they cut us off on the Playground, but not cut us off in the Lessons.

And, I know why they cut us off. Because when they do the lessons, if we’re cut off, in the Backpack (portfolio) it’ll show we’re half-way done only…and in the playground it doesn’t show anything so it just cuts us off.

Oh…

Now, can I go?

Yes, anything else you want to say?

No.
