My 11th grade dd will be studying Latin this year and we've already purchased the Wheelock books but I was a little nervous about actually "teaching" Latin so this looks like it might be a good fit for us. She is coming out of a private Christian school and we've never done an online course before so any info you could provide would be wonderful! Thanks so much!

It can be pretty overwhelming! I really like your advice about planning before you buy. I took an education class in college (that SURE DID cement my idea that homeschooling is the very best way to go, but that's another topic), and in that class, we had to write our "Philosophy of Education." I think that's a great thing for new homeschoolers to do. It's good to start out with research on all the different approaches out there and learn what the pros and cons are so that you can make an informed choice when it comes to a specific curriculum.
