Home Schooling?

I think it all depends on how old the kids are and what they are learning. My son is 5 years old and we are doing basic homeschool for him. K and first grade stuff. We spend like 1 hour doing sit down and crunch work that we call school time, then we also do weekly field trips and play lots of learning games. We read lots of stories together and try to learn through living. It is working great for us so far. We are learning to read and got a great book. "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons." It was referreed to me by other homechool families and we love it. I also love the one on one time we get with the kids. There are lots of websites out there that want you to spend tons of money on supplys and teaching kits. We went to teachr supply stores and bought some workbooks at walmart. We search for ideas online and so far we have spent very little. We did buy an annual pass to the zoo for field trips but we might have done that anyway. I think it is the best option for my kids. I am the person who cares the most about their education, so I feel I am the best person to give it to them. Let me know if you have any questions and check out that book. They sell it online or at most major book stores. Good luck

I don't think there's any rules as to how many hours per day, at the end of the year you just have to be done with the curriculum.
