I collect that kind of stuff for fun + have some exposure to Christian education communities.

Were you doing ACE? Those workbooks should be illegal.

Not ACE specifically. I actually hadn't heard of ACE until you mentioned it.

Most of my peers did some combination of Abeka and Saxon curricula, with a smattering of whatever TF the annual "homeschool convention" had available to sell. And yes, the "science" curriculum always had at least one chapter on how stupid "mainstream scientists" are for believing the universe is more than 6,000 years old. (And some books were nothing but that stretched to the length of a text book.) And those chapters loved to quote Ken Ham and shit. My parents were in some ways less fundie than most of my peers, and they told me to skip that chapter. Lol.

I did ACE. The (barely) fat kid was named Pudge. WTF. Looking back on it now, the educational parts were actually pretty good in places but everything else on top of it was pretty bad

the educational parts were actually pretty good

It’s just workbooks that you do independently and grade yourself, right? All of that seems like it’s what we’d call low “depth of knowledge.” Multiple choice questions and just memorizing facts.
