Homeschoolers: If money weren't an issue....
#1
I'm looking for a set of middle school homeschool CD's or online curriculum that allows the student to do most of the work. Kind of like ALEKS, how the student will mostly work independently under adult supervision and ask questions from time to time as needed.

Background: I no longer homeschool any of my own kids, but since both DH and I work from home, we've been given the task of homeschooling his DD. She's 13 and in 8th grade, but due to autism spectrum (formerly referred to as Asperger's) her social skills have made B&M school extremely difficult. So far, we have made excellent progress. She was stuck in 3rd grade math for several years, but since September has flown through ALEKS and is about to finish 5th grade level. I had also used several other CD+book combos but so far her best subjects are Spanish and Math.

I'm looking for a relatively independent program for science and history that is interesting and doesn't require a ton of direct parent teaching. She seems to do A LOT better when it's primarily a computer-based program. And since DH and I both are working full time, her learning style greatly compliments our preferences for teaching! Her very wealthy grandmother (my DH's ex mother-in-law) is willing to foot the bill, so I'm not concerned about price, just something that's high quality and primarily independent and computer-based.

Suggestions?

Thanks!!!!
