Could anyone give me an example of what a home school time requirement for a 2nd grader and that of an 8th grader? I have a stay at home wife and a mother in law with time.
My daughter homeschooled her two children last year. She spent about a total of three to four hours/day. But that included breaks and lunch. She was also getting them caught up because of the poor public school education they had been subjected to.
Our kiddo is in elementary school. We average about 9 hours per week on school work (that does not include the breaks, and we generally take a break every hour).
About an hour per grade level for the elementary years. First grade? Spend an hour--short reading lesson, quick math skill with some computation. Fourth grade? Maybe four hours, IF they can handle it. Maybe that's too long, depending on the kiddo. Just focus on getting one or two things done well each day. Everything else is gravy.
