Homeschooling Hours

How plenty of, how often & when? These are some oft-repeated
questions when it comes to homeschooling hours. Flexibility is of
coursework of the key underlying principles behind homeschooling.
This flexibility applies not only to the curriculum but also to
the number of hours. It is only natural that parents,
in the event that they have started out on homeschooling ought to feel that
their children ought to be at their books on a regular basis when regular
school-goers are at school. This is not only fallacious but can
even be damaging & counter-productive.

 of the most ignored but glaring drawbacks of the public
schooling process is the sheer waste of time & energy that it
causes. Plenty of periods are basically wasted away & the child
effectively derives only 1-3 hours of study everyday. Then, there
are days when the studies become intensive & other days when
it is only games & no work at all. There is a lot of 'invisible
wastage' involved here.

Early on in your homeschooling practice, work out a schedule. It
is advisable to stick to the same hours everyday. A process makes
it simpler to learn & gives structure to the learning experience.
It also tells the scholars that parents are strict about their
learning. A process also allows your child to free his mind from
other activities & focus on studies. He knows that a
particular time is strictly set aside for learning.

The actual number of hours that you need depends on the curriculum
you have chosen & the learning style that suits your child. If
you are dealing with a subject that appears to be more complex, you
may need to sit with the child for an extended period. Using various
techniques, it may be necessary to demonstrate what you are trying
to teach. For example, a lesson in Algebra may take more time
than a lesson in English.

Homeschooling does not refer to the practice of sitting in front
of the books & learning the printed matter. Field journeys,
watching documentaries, visiting factories & libraries also make
up an important slice of the homeschooling process. It makes sense
to intersperse these activities so that learning becomes fun.
You may need to finish off the few hours of textbook learning
in the morning & dedicate the afternoons to these kinds
of activities.

Given the fact that plenty of public school hours are wasted in
meaningless activities ranging from speaking to extra-curricular
activities, do not permit public school hours to dictate the time
you ought to spend teaching your child at home. Keep in mind that at
home, he is getting a high-quality one-to-one time that is highly
productive. About 1-3 hours of study is in the primary
level. It is of coursework true that the more number of hours you put
in, the more learning takes place. This is also the reason why
homeschooling children are much smarter & more balanced than
regular school going children.
