Curriculum companies provide more work than is needed. I never finished the complete curriculum when I taught in a classroom or at home. If your race is with your curriculum, learn to pick and choose what to use, and please do not attempt to cover it all or your race will be ongoing and you will be exhausted. Even races require pit stops to refuel. Tamara L. Chilver
About This Quote

A curriculum is a set of materials and information designed to guide the teaching and learning of a particular subject. A race is an event in which people compete against each other in an organized competition. Put them together and you have a curriculum company. Having to follow a curriculum or race can be daunting and exhausting, so it makes sense to pick and choose what you need from each option.

If you are going into a race that requires you to do something, for example, memorize the entire Constitution, that’s a lot of work. In order to avoid becoming exhausted, you need to pick and choose what is most important to you. A race is still a race even if you don’t complete it.

You can still complete it by learning the materials that are most important to you.
