[quote=Anonymous]My niece is home schooled because of gymnastics and she knocks out her schoolwork in about 2-3 hours a day. She follows an online curriculum that also has video conferencing with teachers to check in/get help. She has tests weekly-ish to ensure that the work isn't put off until the last minute and crammed to meet the standards. I'm not sure if it's the program she's in or what, but she does have the opportunity to take some standardized tests to see if she's on track. She loves learning so much more now that she can do it at her own pace and on her terms. I know my SIL loves it because there is almost no busy work disguised as "homework" involved. No more fighting to get her to write her 15 spelling words forwards, backwards, dictionary definition, and person definition... I do envy that part. [/quote]
