Dismissal was at 3:30 and we'd get home around twenty minutes later. Knowing Mom would have a treat ready for us always made us walk a little faster going home, than going to school. :)A Joyful Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647481484192797931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-31006096948385256072014-06-10T07:13:01.666-04:002014-06-10T07:13:01.666-04:00I always felt there was a lot of wasted time for m...I always felt there was a lot of wasted time for me at school. It would only take me a two to three hours to get all my work done and then I could read for the rest of the day.

What time did you go to school and what time was school out? We live 20 minutes from the kids school. My husband takes them to the bus at 6:20am and the bus gets there around 6:30am. School don't start until 8am.

I don't think that's surprising - think of all the waiting-around time that can be involved in a public school. Well, not just a public school - any traditional school with 20-30 children in a class. For example, the teacher gives a Clisbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744793549029118738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-68508723795795183442014-06-03T13:36:42.455-04:002014-06-03T13:36:42.455-04:00Our children went to a private school at our churc...Our children went to a private school at our church and the schedule was very similar. They loved finishing their work and then getting to read books. This was a wonderful education for our children. All three now have college degrees. Two had bachelor degrees by age 20 and the youngest actually had his masters degree at 19!

When we began homeschooling I was surprised to learn that only 4 hours of actual class time are required (here in Tenn., anyway) per day. Of course, I quickly saw that a lot could be done in the time, more than is possible in a class of 30 kids the public school setting.magnoliasnteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517995125207145961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-30961913010919894692014-06-03T11:02:58.249-04:002014-06-03T11:02:58.249-04:00Sooo very interesting as always !!!
