Are you both working full-time? What's the arrangement? How do you fit the homeschooling in around your jobs?
My wife and I have talked about this a lot. We don't have kids yet, but we're very open to the idea of homeschooling when the time comes. I'm not sure how we'll do it though - we're in a better position than most (we make good money and both wfh) but there are only so many hours in the day. I'm interested to know how other people make it work.
- gnicholas 3y agoKids are in school for 5 or so hours per day, but for many kids (especially those who are bright), they are learning for perhaps 1 hour of that time. If you can take an hour to teach them something, and another 10 minutes to assess their progress later in the day, they will learn at least as much as they would have in school. Of course, the time commitment also varies by grade; younger kids need lots of attention, whereas older kids are more self-sufficient. It depends on lot based on your particular kids.
