Taking biology in 8th grade–how to include on HS transcript

I apologise for giving a simple answer when posting about the biology 101 series, due to lack of time. However I will agree to disagree as to whether this might not equip a child and leave them at a deficit in college. We did add dissection labs etc for more content , and that in itself was suggested by the author of the program. This series will allow those who are intimidated by large texts that are redundantly wordy to have an alternative . Yet at the same time those who want to embellish the course have liberty to do that as well. Bigger isn’t necessarily better. I have 3 children who have used these series for their high school sciences, two of those children went ion to college , one has a bio- chemistry degree and the other a biology degree, at no time were they at a deficit for using them. As a matter of fact they loathed the traditional texts b/c they weren’t able to see concepts that they had come to love in the 101 series. And that is why I classified it as having a CM flavor , b/c they had more life to them than the other.

Many of us are here at SCM , rather than some other. CM sites b/c it is more simplified than the other CM choices, I certainly hope that isn’t indicative of us falling short of what we may perceive as acceptable by CM herself.
