I am seriously thinking of trying home ed for my dd3 aged 7 - perhaps not for ever but for a short time. I have already taken her out during term time to educate her at home and the biggest eye opener was how much we covered and how quickly just the two of us. We seemed to have done enough for the day in about 2 hours! By that I mean a few maths papers including some new topics, an English comprehension and some simple science discussion triggered by an experitment.
A friend of mine who does home ed corroborated this and said she does about 2 hours work a day with her dses and then the rest is sport and/or a project of interest/art etc.
Is that about right or is longer normally spent?
