Yeah, I'm also big on the homeschool aspect.

That was one goal of adding communities.
I was thinking of adding workbooks and teaching guides to the literature I upload, but I'm loving the idea of online homework and paper submissions/grading. Interesting.
It could be like the an introduction to a book. Do it!
I used to write them for the homeschool co-op my children were in.
I was thinking that you could have a 30040 for the book and one for the teaching guide and another for the students' workbook, then a 30040 joining them all together. Like homeschool bundles. Then people could create different bundles, but using the same book.
My mom would have loved that when she was building her own homeschool curricula.
What was in that curricula? I’m curious.
Lots of literature (mostly classic up through the mid-20th century), history (ancient, medieval, early modern, American), mathematics, science, grammar, and a small handful of other things.
We learned to spell, then write cursive, then we studied vocabulary, then we just wrote.
My mom was an English major and taught me almost everything I know about formal writing. I sailed through my first year of college from the momentum she gave me in that regard.
We also pretty consistently had some sort of exposure to music. I took two years of piano lessons, but I spent much longer signing Gregorian Chant with our church choir.
Having parents implicated in your education is paramount.
Maybe this is the most important thing we’re lacking. Capable parents overseeing the education of their children.
But not to the level of tiger moms and helicopter parents obviously.
And "capable" here isn't too high a bar for anyone college-educated (or even high school-educated). Most homeschool parents learn alongside their kids.
