Does My Schoolhouse provide enough lessons to use all year in each grade level?
While the My Schoolhouse curriculum is quite comprehensive, we feel a solid education should encompass many learning opportunities.  We would suggest that some areas of learning should be completed outside of the technology venue.

Would a 2nd grader easily know which lessons would be most appropriate for him or her?
Yes!  Each student should complete the lessons at his or her grade level by referring to the first number in the lessons.  2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc.

Is there any way to save the Results Pages within the program and keep a folder or something to go back and view it?
The Results Page may be saved for future reference or documentation by using the browser Save command.  Click on File, choose Save As, locate the folder you would like to save your file in, and click Save.

My Schoolhouse seems to be a good curriculum supplement but I was wondering if it could be used as a complete curriculum?
While the My Schoolhouse curriculum is quite comprehensive, we feel a solid education should encompass many learning opportunities.  We would suggest that some areas of learning should be completed outside of the technology venue.
