It was a lot easier when my kids were all in elementary. It's easy to learn while having fun when the kids are little. Now that my kids are older, in high school, I need to be sure that they're learning enough to score well in their SATs so they can pursue the dreams they have. I'm not very disciplined or organized. We use Time4Learning. This year I was so excited to find out that they've added high school to their program! I don't have to worry about lesson plans or record keeping because it's all done for me. And we have our own accountability that it's getting done, yet the freedom to do it at our own pace. :)<br />I don't even have the discipline to break it all up into hours like you did. :) But now I know they're taking the credits they need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113475096974197894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-79188166105674872112013-05-08T08:55:57.599-07:002013-05-08T08:55:57.599-07:00I think it helps people to see what a typical day ...I think it helps people to see what a typical day looks like. Our homeschool days are not generally very impressive though, so I went with the big picture since that is what I have been thinking about.

Well, we have our slacker days but I feel a bit better in regard to my obligations to the state, at any rate : ).

You've expressed the big pic very well.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-50204727621742276372013-05-06T09:58:19.127-07:002013-05-06T09:58:19.127-07:00I never actually did the math - we school year rou...I never actually did the math - we school year round also and I didn't realize how much less time you would need per day than I was estimating. Makes me feel better on those days when it looks like my student did very little but I'm sure got in that 30 minutes. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750119018720696852noreply@blogger.com
