Cons of Abeka Homeschool
One of the more expensive complete programs out there. A lot of time is wasted on watching another classroom if you are getting their DVD program. The dvds have to be returned, so there is no option for reviewing the next year. A lot of the early learning is memorization. This could be more difficult with a visual learner.
