Has anyone thought about filing a class action law suit? I tutored for 4 years and today, after already attended a 7 hour training day and signing a contract, was told to take a year off for ‘rest and rejuvenation’ because I questioned why I was mandated to attend a 3 day practicum as a volunteer. I would have to take time off of an actual paid job to not be paid to attend a mandatory 3 day practicum. This is a for-profit that likes to pretend it is not for profit. It takes advantage of the tutors by acting like they are volunteers.

No, I don’t think it’s weird. As husbands and wives are instructed, it follows that we (believers), too, are to to be hospitable to one another without complaining. We are called to build ourselves (the body of believers) up in LOVE. My Father’s World employees also stay at host homes, sometimes, when traveling, and have hosted families in THEIR homes as well. How the enemy seeks to destroy us.

You can request to be in this group for help and answers. ….no current management at SR level or above

There is now a closed Facebook group that is uncensored, but CC corporate and managers are slipping in to try to police currently contracted directors/ tutors. Let Us Reason For Real. You can also request to be in the group I will add into a second comment. It is not open to people in CC at the SR level and above and it is for a more safe and moderated space for those who have been abused by CC or who truly need answers or who are concerned about their up line stalking their participation in a group that doesn’t sing the praises of CC Corp.

I’m sorry you’ve had such a frustrating experience, but you are definitely not alone!

Essentials is not necessary… A solid grammar background is. Let me explain. Essentials is one form of solid English grammar…. My son started Challenge B, never did Essentials. BUT, I had homeschooled him (I’m a former MS English teacher)… I was thorough with his grammar – we did diagramming… parsing, etc…. He thrived in Latin… and never did Essentials… He didn’t even start CC until Ch. B…. All was good. The kids just need a solid grammar background…. If you don’t do Essentials, I highly recommend Warner’s English Grammar….. But I do appreciate IEW…….

Lynn, I’m glad it was helpful 🙂

Melissa,

Thank you so much for this information. I am currently looking into starting a classical coop and appreciate your input!

Blessings,
Lynn

Barbara explained how ditch level builds upon one another. As a challenge parent I can say that Essentials mix challenge Latin a thousand times easier and totally understandable. I honestly don’t know how anyone can handle the Latin without a salad Foundation of English grammar such as what is given in Essentials. It was difficult at first but I am now so so thankful and so much more knowledgeable than anything I received as a student years ago. And you explain so well how i e w gives Mini tools that will be used through college. The Lost tools of writing is a different style but you are expected to use those ITW tools also. They are like layers that you are adding together which make a beautiful outcome when combined. Thank you for sharing so beautiful thing. I agree that there may be business model problems and also each Community is unique because we as human beings are unique handsome fella. Some of the problems that are described above are not necessarily CC problems but human send problems. I think we get into a lot of problems when we try to make a parachurch Ministry fulfilling Church obligations that are given by God specifically to the church. This is an educational group that is Christian and classical. It was never meant to be anything beyond that. Following Matthew 18 with conflicts should lead to resolution or a person to be able to leave without spreading ill-will or lacking forgiveness. Hopefully those who had a problem with CC can find some homeschoolers in their area to befriend.. the curriculum CC offers is excellent though and I would disagree with anyone who says otherwise. If you don’t find a good CC community near you I would suggest looking into a Veritas pres. It seems CeCe got their start with their materials and also created materials based upon Veritas. I would suggest at least getting the Veritas catalog because they have a lot of good book suggestions. Then I would compare curriculum with CC and pick what’s best for your family.
