You Might be a Curriculum Junkie, Geek, Addict, If…

1.  You buy four different curriculums for Language Arts to use together, because there is not one perfect language arts curriculum out there.

2.  You could never plan a months worth of lessons at one time, let alone a whole year because you have to change it up too often.

3.  The thought of a boxed curriculum makes you squirm.

4.  Being on the TOS Review Crew did not solve your addiction, even during the weeks you had five reviews due.

5.  Your husband will not build a house with walls, but is going to build a house with every wall being a floor to ceiling set of shelves.

6. A great afternoon is an after noon reading curriculum catalogs, or browsing all the great curriculum stores on the net.

7.  Your husband doesn’t try to hide the curriculum catalogs anymore, because you happen to know when they show up in the mail and will go dumpster diving for them.

8.  The best part of Homeschool conventions is learning about new curriculum choices.

9.  You clip curriculum coupons instead of grocery coupons.

10.  You have considered missing a month’s worth of meals in order to save money to use at the curriculum fair.

11.  You stalk the profiles of your Facebook Friends who happen to own Curriculum companies.  They always post deals. Winking smile

12.  Same with Twitter. 

13. Your children are excited to get books and curriculum in the mail—you are rubbing off on them.

14.  Your son did backflips and almost killed him self when you announced his Latin curriculum should be here any day.

15.  Your children are never at a loss for learning something new, because all they have to do is pick up a book—no way have they read them all.

16.  Your two year old says “Daddy need a book”

17.  Your children know they will most likely get a book if they ask. 

18.  Your dream shirt would say:  Dear Curriculum Santa,  I want it ALLLL!!!!!!

19.  Your Rainbow Resource catalog has more flags (post it) then the cemetery on Memorial Day.

20.  Your mailman is afraid to come to the door with boxes, so takes them to the shop to your husband because you and your children bombard the door when he comes to the door and he fears for his life.

    An in-depth and broad understanding of subjects that revolve around a main theme can help students learn and remember information better than traditional methods.Besides helping your children learn easier you will discover many additional benefits to using unit studies in your home school.. Your work load decreases because you will teach your children at the same time.

    Oh No! I think we need a 12 step recovery program for this. I’ve got it too.

    I resemble many of those remarks! You have me laughing here, nodding my head in agreement. Do you think we’re in the minority or the majority with this “Disorder”?
