In response to Does anyone here homeschool? posted by lroeder:


I homeschooled for ten years and my children are now grown, one with a college degree and the other is homeschooling my grandchildren. My experience is that homeschooling requires only about 3 hours a day so it's not something that you would have to do "all day long". Homeschooling does however require a committment. You stated that your children don't listen well enough and that their attention span is horrible. How much of that could be due to the hectic schedule of regular school days? If they were in a calmer environment and allowed to learn through some of their own interests, rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum, do you think their attention spans possibly could improve over time?
