[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Maybe for K.  Kids in HS are feeling the difference.  [/quote]

Exactly.  My son is in 9th and it is hard to get all stuff in.  I also have one in elementary so understand work challenges - but I want the kids in school so they can learn and have some consistency.  Beyond irritating.  Seriously worn survive in a world where everyone must work in an office.  They need to learn life isn’t always comfortable.  Go to school.[/quote]
