[quote=Anonymous]OP - there is a big difference between a 6 year old and a 10 year old, so the expectations should be different. I was different than the PP... I have always used the entire day to homeschool my kids. I especially cannot imagine high school students finishing a strong academic program in that amount of time. For younger kids, I spent time varying the activities (craft projects, cooking, music, science projects, read alouds and outdoor activities tied to curriculum) so all of the hours didn't feel like "school," even though they were part of a themed curriculum. I also did "Home Ec" lessons so I considered that to be school. I would work with your family to limit the book work to a reasonable degree, but to use the other hours in a good way. Since homeschoolers don't have homework, there is plenty of time for free play in the late afternoon and evening.[/quote]
