Time4learning.com Review Part 2

I logged on for some Middle School grades...was having a great time with some Greek and Latin, which I think is very important for vocabulary and spelling. It wasn't too annoying, although the cartoon characters are a little "old school", but then the brat Nigel came up...not only did he speak badly about having a new baby coming, he also used the word stupid. I can get past the brattiness, but I know a whole lot of parents who believe that "stupid" is equivalent to a cuss word. I am not one of them, but I can see where the attitude and the word choice will be a big turn off. It was totally not necessary for the lesson.

Time4learning Preliminary Review

Well,  first of all, it took several days for the site to approve me.
At first glance it looks awesome, but so far it has been a beast to get into. I see all of the wrapping and haven't got to the present yet. I will look into it more tomorrow, but at this point I am not sure it is an  easy site to navigate. I do like sites that have tracking for each individual student, as well as the parent monitoring. Having a hard time finding out how to print worksheets for supplemental use.
