- JumpStart is Junk
I homeschool our 6 year old son. I purchase a lot of educational material. This is junk.
There are 4 disks. The Music disk won't even work.I have installed it twice.
The Art Club is junk. Not clear how it works.Just click and paste onto backgrounds with no goal.
The Pet Playground doesn't work right either.Shows multiple game choices but only one game works but at best it doesn't award jewels consistantly.Often doesn't award them at all.Also pets aren't ... Read More

- Too Much Fluff
The fundamentals disk is great the rest of it is just junk. The pets CD is a demo with no educational value at all. The music and art CD are lack luster and devoid of value. Might as well let your kids play Nintendo. I would recommend this program just for the fundamentals CD ittricks the little darlings into practicing there skills by making it fun. Learning through play. YeaH! I would just chuck the other three disks in the trash.

NOTE: This review is really on an older version, but the only difference I know between the two is that the older one has no Pet Playground disc. Thus, I have copied this review to this page because I think it will be helpful.

Rating: - Emotionally manipulative, inconsistent, poorly designed software
We got the First Grade package for our 6-year-old last year.I haven't been overly impressed with the Art, Music, or Fundamentals CDs, but wasn't annoyed enough to write a negative review.My 4-year-old, however, who has been desperately wanting a puppy, discovered the Pet Playground today, and after watching him play for 2 hours, I had to write a review.
In a nutshell, it is a 3-D game where you choose a character, and go to the Learning Center to play educational games, to earn "jewels". ... Read More
Rating: - NOT Mac compatible
Although this product says that you can use it on Mac OSX, it apparently does not work if you have above system 10.2.3.Since as of May 2007, almost no one would be running 10.2.3, this makes it effectively not Mac compatible.
We bought this product for our son, and he is very disappointed.I contacted Knowledge Adventure support, and they informed me that if we could only use it above system 10.2.3 if we had Classic OS Support on the computer.In fact we do still have Classic on the computer ... Read More
