I used a "SEATWORK" curriculum for my oldest for K4&K5 and he hated it! Everyday he would cry about more reading and writing??!!!!???. (I loved the "SEATWORK" approach.) So I swtiched to Lifepacs this year w/both my children. K5&1st grades. My oldest LOVES it and is done with all 5 subjects nomore than hour. My K5 is done in about 5 minutes w/both subjects. NO JOKE! This is our second month now and we are going to have to switch back to A Beka.
On the flip side if you and your child like this idea of 45 minutes and done for the day then this is great.

I ordered several high school electives as life packs. My teen was able to work through them at her own pace without any complaints.

It seems like a lot of people on this website complain about AOPs LifePacs but I dont understand why. They are so easy to use and it covers the bases. I will admit that in the first and second grade years they can get a bit boring abot halfway thru the year but I feel it was just because my daughter was at that age where getting her to sit down for a few hours and focus on bookwork was a challenge. We had such fun with their Kindergarden curriculum though! Once she got into 3rd grade she grew out of her fidgeting and tendancy to try to avoid her schoolwork and we were fine again. I used LifePac for K-2 and supplemented my 3-5 SOS curriculum with a few lifepacs. I like AOPs stuff. For the type of Moms who want to be able to brag that their kid does everything 2 grade levels advanced for her age then no you won't like this, maybe go with Rod & Staff if bragging rights is what you're into. But if you are ok with things going at a less pressured pace in the early years and then balancing out past 3rd grade then give LifePacs a try. I also like that the lesson plan is already laid out for me, if you like to be eclectic and make your own lesson plans maybe this wouldn't be you thing. If you like simplicity and convienence like I do then give this a try. I have a couple of nieces who go to an expensive and popular private christian school and guess what, they use LifePac materials a lot there and I've seen their high school stuff and it seems on par with ABeka and everything else. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend LifePacs to a friend and have several times. The bonus is that they are much more affordable than Abeka and all that other stuff.
