Oh you don't need a picture from a book. There's a whole museum dedicated to that bullshit now.

Have you seen Forrest Valkai’s new video?

Eric Hovind made a laughably awful Night at the Museum rip-off at the creation museum, and Forrest tears it apart.

It's the middle of the night for me, so I didn't look to find the picture, but a beka books are the books I used until I was 8, when the science modules started. I had severe struggles learning how to read with them, too. My mom got sing, spell, read and write from a friend of a friend, and I went from literally nothing to reading without issue within a month. Basically, a beka is absolute trash and should be forced to shut down. They're absolutely horrible.

But, one really cool thing, when she discovered how bad the a beka books were, and she got text books from the local library (which the state of Virginia never told her was an option when she called to get everything set up for the homeschooling. They told her to use a beka), our options exploded. There were so many, and I was able to go to the local library and do my studying because my neighborhood had a library in it. I ended up graduating 12th grade at 14, because we didn't take summers off, and curriculum was basically designed specifically for me. I'm not against homeschooling, a lot of people assume I am when I mention those books, but I am against religious fundamentalism being passed off as state approved education.

Sorry, that was really long. Tl;Dr my mama is fucking awesome, and a beka books are absolute garbage. Lol
