Default Re: Has anyone used Power Homeschool (Acellus)

We use acellus (powerschool) and have been for about five years now. We add in a separate writing program and handwriting in younger years, religion and I add to the history (to include our faith) and add in some hands on science that may or may not correlate to what they are doing with Accelus.

Like another poster we pretty much exclusivly use the Homeschool mode over tutoring. My kids find it easier to use and I like that steps can't be skipped or they can't complete partial tests for a score as you can in tutor mode. The only time I switch to tutor is if I want something to be redone/reviewed or I'll switch over for mid terms because I dont require them to do both the reviews and actual tests. Acellus midterms and finals are super long many can have hundreds of questions and the review is basically the same test. SO I'll use the tutor mode to move past those. (or do partial for the score).

Homeschool mode also builds in more reviews and drills for like spelling math facts etc that aren't in the tutor modes. My kids benefit greatly from these little steps.
