What is Home School Used Curriculum Exchange?

Home school used curriculum exchange is a way for parents who home school their children to save tons of money. Instead of buying new, expensive textbooks, computer programs, workbooks, and other learning materials, home school educators are now swapping, trading, selling and downloading used material online. This is a good way for parents to get back a portion of their money for teaching materials that their children have outgrown. This also gives parents unlimited access to fresh, new curriculum without the high cost.
