I don't know if you saw my comments about homeschoolreviews.com and Miquon math, but, I'm mentioning them again in case not.
I always have a natural tendency to want to do reading, writing, phonics, grammar etc every single day but math only a couple of times a week, but Grant always says that is wrong, and me showing my OWN strengths and preferences. He points out how math is something done daily in "regular" schools right along with language arts, and not an "elective" that is saved for a couple of times a week. So, I always end up trying really hard to fight that inclination in myself and do them equally. What do you think about this? Is it part of classical education to emphasize things the way that you are?
