My son pulled his kids out of public school due to Covid. They were doing the state's home school curriculum instead.
He talked to a teacher thinking that something was wrong. They kept to the schedule, but his kids were going through the entire school day learning agenda in about 90-minutes. The teacher said, "yes, that's about right".
Perhaps we need to have 4 hours of education in an 8-hour school day. That would help. Instead, we have 90 minutes of education... and 6.5 hours of wasted time.
Adding 2 more years of that won't help anybody.
When I was in school the teachers had these boxes of booklets for those of us who finished the regular work before the rest of the class. I went through all of them. It was mindless busy work but better than just sitting there waiting for everyone else. How I would have LOVED home school.
