[quote=Anonymous]Op. Do you stay home? If you work then what are your kids doing? They can't be home alone until 12 and even then that's not a good idea. 
For summer, in January lay out what the school calendar is, last day and first day. See if you will go on vacation for any of hat time. The rest needs to be filled with something. Look up county camps, special camps like robotics, computer etc. then see how many weeks you have and decide on how much you can afford for camp and go from there. Take into account your kids interests. Not everything has to be academic but some things do. You can also have your kids read from the school reading list and do little presentations to you about the books etc. if they are staying home a week or two with you then they have to do something productive. Like a project or a book etc. our library has 3D printing for example. Kids can research a design and have it made and learn how that works.  Or you go to a local park and get all the leaves to different plants and look up the plants and see if they are native and see what you can learn about them and what animals eat them etc. there are nature centers with lectures and exhibits. Or you pick a museum and go there during the week and focus on one thing and learn in depth about that. [/quote]
