Query: A Ponderous Hodge Podge

Although i have not used volume 4, I am finishing up year 3 of Story of the World only because i have been unable to find anything else. I recently stumbled on the history curriculum from abeka and i will switch to them and leave the Story of the World series behind with a huge sigh of relief. No year 4 for me! i have found Story of the World lessons to be tedious, tedious--and did i mention tedious? The hopscotching all over the world from chapter to chapter is very confusing and disjointed. there is too much material to cover in a school year and too little for 2 years. i have felt bogged down with this series since day one and leave it behind only regretting i did not find another option sooner!
