[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in elementary so probably doesn't apply to older. They love school but both are really preferring the shorter days. ADHD kid is functioning better with shorter days, and high achiever says lots of work, no recess but prefers the efficiency. Hmm [/quote] I was homeschooled for several years in elementary. You can typically do an ES homeschool day in 1-3 hours (shorter for younger years, longer for older) and do an excellent job with all core subjects. There's a lot of classroom management, transition time, and other things that go into a normal school day. Now - all those other things have definite value, if some more than others. But the actual education in our kids' days doesn't take that long.[/quote] Agree. 2 hours off the school day will cause no noticeable difference in a child's education.[/quote]
