Summary

Thinking that schoolwork is an all-day event is a myth that keeps some parents from considering home education. But even for those who have made the decision to homeschool, there can be a nagging feeling that if we aren’t hitting the books well past lunchtime, we can’t possibly be giving our kids a complete education.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  Join Ashley Wiggers (Homeschooling Today) and me as we talk about why school doesn't have to take all day!
