[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing with homeschooling is that you can follow a traditional schedule or not depending on how it suits your family/kid.

If the kid is a morning person, they can get up early and knock out pretty much all they need to do in a 2-3 hours.  If evening is there focus time, then start then.  It takes a LOT less time when there is not 'settle in time', passing out of papers, collecting of papers, multi kid bathroom breaks, multiple repetition of instructions, you can also move faster-  if theres no need to review yesterday's work first, then keep going.

So yes, it is very possible that your neighbor is homeschooling.  She also might be sending out kids on a rotating basis while she teaches one or two inside.

A big plus of homeschooling is that your kids do get to spend lots of time outside playing because the same learning doesn't take as long when it's practically one on one tutoring. They are not beholden to the 4 walls of their classroom and to the 20 minutes of recess.

My kids are in public school but I did homeschool my oldest for 2 years.  It was not easy and involved a ton of prep and planning on my part, but my kid did have a great deal of time to explore and just be a kid while still learning.  And he was ahead by 1-2 grade levels in some subjects when he started public.

I'd just politely ask the neighbor to be mindful of the property line because you get disturbed by the noise when you're working.  But you can't make anyone keep their kids in the house all day to benefit you.
