[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. currently, our kids have school work to complete and spend about four hours per day either on the work or on video calls with teachers. We figure out the rest of the time. But once "school" is over, that will leave a daily hole. Unfortunately DH and I are in adjacent fields, so our hours are similar. I appreciate the ideas you guys are coming up with - more chores, more exercise, etc. Sometimes it's hard though with 7, 9 yos to let them roam free here in the city. Guess I'll have to learn some free-range parenting this summer.[/quote]

There are a number of home school programs and online Learning with video lessons. Many are free right know like Moby, Kumon and tons of others. Check them out while they are free keep what you like when they start to charge.
We are also doing educational screen time with PBS, NPR and Disney+ watch /listen to program. Give us a report, answer these questions about the show etc[/quote]

We're willing to pay for Out School instruction (around $20 an hour), because all their learning is live, with an instructor teaching each class.

My 7 and 9 year old just don't do well on learning programs without an adult teaching in real time.  The many pre-recorded classes their teachers feed us tend to go in one ear and out the other.  Same with Moby and Kumon.  No teacher interacting with the kids, no point in this house.  They just pretend to learn, or zone out completely.[/quote]
