Our little household is plugging away. I have noticed a bias: we spend almost two hours each day on math. Happily, the other subjects are more balanced. Our nine year old grandson, Paul, has been home-schooled for the first time the past two months. Paul is enrolled in a local public school. Three weeks elapsed before the teachers implemented Digital Choice Boards. I am not a fan. The content is varied; however, the amount of work is scant. I want solid core instruction.
What is Paul doing? He does about two hours of math, 45 minutes of science, Zoology 1, 30-45 minutes of History, and 30-45 minutes of Language Arts: Reading, Grammar, Hand-writing, Vocabulary, and Composition. Usually, Paul spends about three hours on work for us. After lunch and a long bike ride, Paul works for an hour on the Choice Board for the public school. Then, he spends 30 minutes practicing guitar and an hour programming Lego Boost. It’s a full day.
