Luke Holzman over at the Sonlight Blog wrote a post about how he learned less about history in his traditional school than he did in homeschool. That experience resonates with us. See here, here, and here. He talked about the Sonlight Core D & E Curricula that includes the Landmark History of the American People books. He is right and this is part of the reason we have been such big fans of Sonlight. They are awesome books and give a feel for history I have not seen anywhere else. Now if they could just kick that horrible Joy Hakim history curriculum to the curb and find a worthy replacement. It was less than useless for us.
