Do you homeschool and work full time?

[Anonymous]

How? As in, what is your schedule? How old is your child?

I’m in several groups where people do it. But I don’t understand how.

Some use an online private school for their middle and hs kids who are self motivated and who are okay being at home alone. Others hire someone to drive their kids to co ops, meet up, classes, etc. Homeschooling can be done in the evenings, on weekends or early mornings. Depending on the age of the student, lessons can be completed within 2-5 hours. The point is, they figure it out.

It works if you pay for online classes and your child is organized and mature enough to fo them without too much supervision.

My friend does this with her child. They started in middle school. They have an educational consultant and pay different companies to provide classes.

I work from home with a flexible schedule. I homeschool 7:30-2pm and work 2pm -midnight (with breaks for family time). DH helps too.

I know a couple families which have the parents split up the subjects or ages of children based on their strengths. The parents work full time, but they have set schedules that dovetail so that the kids are supervised and/or taught by the parent who is not working at that time.

I also know a couple families who homeschool 6-7 days per week. One parent homeschools 2 extra full days on the days they don't work, plus they do short mornings and short evenings before and after they work. One works a typical 9-5 m-f, but the rest have more unusual schedules.

I also know two families who own small businesses. The year round business allows the older kids to get hands on work in it all year, and the parents carve out time to teach other things as they feel the need. The other family's business is seasonal, so they don't homeschool during their busy time, and they just have the kids with them/work with them as age-appropriate.

For most families? This isn't possible until late elementary or middle school.

I only know one person who does this and she has a studious only child who is early elementary as well as a husband who doesn’t work full time.

Pp here. I meant late elementary, sorry.

If you only had 1 kid and he/she was independent, I guess it could work. Multiple kids and grades? Kill me now.

I did it for 3rd grade because of Covid. We both work full time but shift work. I work 6am-6pm. My wife works 4pm-midnight. On my days off I did the homeschooling for that day and prepped what needed doing for the next day if I was working. Wife would follow the plan with DD. You can buy homeschool calendars with subjects listed so you can plan 2-3 weeks in advance if you want to. This made it easy for me because I’m a list type person. It would be hard to do if you both with traditional hours.
