[quote=Anonymous]Here's my lazy-mom's guide for those of you so inclined -

School year - We get home around 5:45 and walk the dog.  Mondays, I spend two minutes looking at the homework assignment while I prep dinner, and we have a brief discussion about what DC should work on for the week (most of it is unnecessary busy work, so I just pick a few things that look useful or that DC may need to work on).  Sometimes I remember to check it later in the week and sometimes I don't - in my view, it's DC's responsibility, and the earlier that's learned, the better.  I do a 1 minute quiz of the spelling words, and if DC misses any I'll usually remember to repeat 1-2 more times that week.

Summers - We get new books from the library every few weeks.

We learn geography while looking at maps and researching our vacations.  We learn about the environment and biology when going for hikes on the weekend.  We learn about the world and foreign affairs by hearing about and discussing something we've heard during the 10 minutes of morning news that I usually watch.  We learn about economics and budgeting by talking about things to buy (or not buy) at the store.[/quote]
