    We’ve only ever used TGATB and we love it! We are devout Christians who heavily govern what comes into our house and lives and just have not had a problem with this curriculum. Yes, Jenny Phillips is a member of LDS, but the curriculum is not. It is not an LDS (or Mormon) based curriculum. The creator is. That’s different. Aside from a sentence here and there about God, which is very general and simple, there has been nothing else. It’s about teaching math and language arts, etc. I wasn’t looking for a religious curriculum. We do that part on our own. If you have a problem supporting someone who is a member of LDS by buying something they make, then you should really spend more time looking at every food, clothing, and household item company and not buy 95% of what you probably buy. We love the curriculum and think it is very well done! Let’s trust Steph, and any other Christian, that they’re always in prayer and using discernment when making decisions for their home and especially their children. And definitely don’t hold definitive opinions on something if you haven’t used or fully explored something yourself.

      I needed to come across this comment today. I just had to leave a "Christian" homeschool group just because I made mention of TGTB curriculum and how it has blessed our family. We came from Abeka and switched several years ago and I have wondered how so many people could find anything wrong with TGTB curriculum, but they try to!

    Yes, listen to your mother’s heart and find what works for your family and routine…it’s different for everyone! We have 4 kiddos graduated from college with honors and gainfully employed. We used several different curriculums until we found the right one for our family. I think you’re doing a fantastic job with mothering and raising your little family. ❤

    We homeschool, too! I love what it has done for our family. We just started during the pandemic so going into our fourth year here. I also worked at the school. I enjoyed my job, but that season has passed. Our twins are officially high school this year. Every year home has been a bit different as they learn and grow. The flexibility is amazing! Neither really want to go back to traditional schooling. I always laugh when I think about that because it is considered "traditional", but has only been a thing for the last hundred or so years.
    Anyway, happy homeschooling to everyone! I wish more people would give it a go!

      Hi Tabitha! I just started following you on your channels. My family and I are traditional catholics and we homeschool as well. Every year I hear about the TGATB, however I second guess it since sometimes Protestant curriculums can deviate from what we are trying to teach out kids faith wise. Not sure I’m making sense but I guess my question is do you have a video regarding this curriculum from a Catholic perspective and if not, would you mind making one? Thank you!

That must ne new, we didn't see that at all, Masterbooks seems to have a lot more bible stories and verses in it, so we really love that. Thanks for sharing what you're using.

    When I started homeschooling I started with the Abeka academy and yes it was hours of boring old videos that my kids hated. Then we tried the hood and the beautiful and the illustrations were gorgeous!! But way to much fluff and games and added stuff kids don’t need. It was to much going on. Then we switched to master books and loved it’s simplicity and 1 page a day 🙌 but they didn’t explain things well, so we switched to Saxon which was more advanced than what we’re using so we switched to Bob Jones, which was to much like public school books, so we switched to Singapore, Christian light, lifepac, and horizon. And that’s where we are now and really enjoying them. Live and learn

    I just came across your video! Thank you for sharing. We are going into our third year of homeschooling with our 8 year old and now my 5 year old will be starting kindergarten! We have decided to go with TGTB for LA and science. We did try LA previously for my former first grader but we weren’t really feeling it 😅 but it was the previous version. Now we will be using the new version for second level. I choose to print at home so I really like how the curriculum are free if you go that option of printing yourself.
    For our Math we will be trying math with confidence this year and for our geography we went with Around the world from Beautiful feet. Already excited for this new learning year and will be starting by the end of this month! Hope everyone has a great starting year 😊

      @carrenpastrana6209 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! We've used all their products under 8th grade so far. The science and handwriting would be a safe bet no matter the country, and math does teach U.S. currency but devotes equal time to U.S. measures and the metric system. The most challenging from an international perspective would be Language Arts and History. You would need to substitute your own country's history but it could be doable by skipping or skimming certain sets of lessons, as most of the U.S. history seems concentrated in certain units of each year. The Language Arts is amazing but not sure if you would need to teach a different spelling set (British spelling?) where you are. The reading and spelling are so heavily integrated, if so it would be a lot of work to try and substitute while using. The free downloads of math and LA on their website could help. They also have extensive samples of all the other products. Happy homeschooling!

    I could say how i ended up homeschooling and the crying experiences would be verbatim! I was homeschooled and loved it, but had zero desire to homeschool. One whole year of tears and he was never going back.
    As for TGTB being LDS comments, i think it's not mean for people to point that out. It's very important information for some homeschoolers, so they should know!

      I can totally relate to this as I was where you’re at a couple years back. TGATB was so great because it’s simple to use yet you can feel confident you’re child is getting exactly what they need. The simplicity of it allows you to add things in seasons where you have more capacity but stick to the basics in seasons where you need more breathing room (like postpartum). If I could just encourage you that you don’t have to have it all figured out right now! Just take the next step. You got this mama! God bless you and your family 💜

      I know this is older video but I just saw this. This is my 3rd year homeschooling. I have now a 7th grader, 6th grader and 4th grader and I have not found anything in TGTB that really sets me off. I skip over parts that I feel are not what I want us to focus on as is my right and my kids are loving the curriculum so far.

    📖Loved this video! I am so excited to use The Good & the Beautiful this year. If you have fully done your research The creator of this curriculum has used many people from all different kids of religions. She does not use any doctrine in her curriculum but teaches of Christ and high moral character. She uses lots of Bible verses in her curriculum as well. Mormons do not call themselves Mormons but members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
    They believe in Jesus Christ and call themselves Christians. They also use and read the Bible. Don’t want to offend anyone but Just
    wanted to clear that up. 😊❤️

    • @1986kimberlyg
      @1986kimberlyg ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Respectfully, LDS members are not Christians. I have several LDS family members and their view of Jesus Christ is VASTLY different than the biblical Jesus. Their bibles cherry pick verses out that don’t align with the Book of Mormon. Financially supporting a company that operates under “non denominational” but speaks to a God that is very very different is troubling. I realize it’s beautiful, robust and affordable but we are sending a message to TGTB that they are Christian when they are not. Disappointed to see them recommended here.

    • @TS-ls9cp

      Kimberly, thank you for saying all the words in my mind…in such an appropriate/tactful & truthful way. The long conversation of why mormons do not have Jesus in his right place (yet use his name as a groupie), boils down to why TGATB is not a good fit for us.

    • @mktay2067
      @mktay2067 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kimberly, this is exactly my issue too! As well as teaching my child we are using a "Christian" curriculum only to have them confused as it is a Mormon creator, and multiple other cults involved that claim to be Christian. I just can't especially with the scripture 1 Corinthians 5:11.
