A homeschooled child does not need to be educated from 9-3, five days a week. A typical student would be maybe schooled for four days a week, at 3-4 hours a day. Being home eliminates the commute time, the wasted time between classes, the time lost to disruptions. And the one on one teaching helps students learn faster.
So with two parents in the home, that makes a total of six to eight hours a week for each parent to pick up. If you can't make enough free time to spend that amount with your kids, then it's a real shame. |
