What's a good home school schedule?

Honestly, if you put in a full 6 hours a day, like they do in school, you’ll be ahead of the game from the git go, because you won’t have time wasters plugged in like changing classes, going to assembly, home room, pud classes, etc.

My home schoolers always liked sleeping in late, then do one hour, which earned them one hour of free time, and alternating like that until the assignments were complete.

You have to be careful you don’t burn yourself out. When you are learning this way you take in much more information than if you were sitting in a classroom. You need to make sure you are taking in the information in an efficient way. I find that my kids are good for two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon with a good break in the middle. Anything beyond that and they aren’t learning anything.

We are tackling two core subjects at a time. They are about ⅓ of their way through high school math and ½ way through chemistry. Once chemistry are done we’ll tackle biology. We go like hell for a month and then we take a week off as they need time to think about what we’ve learned and decompress.

We sprinkle history, English and French into the gaps.

What grade are you in? What courses are you taking right now? How often do you need to report to your district?
