LOL....This is so funny. I homeschooled my kids. They started work every morning at 8 and were 99.9% of the time done by 11.

I find it hard to believe they need more... (well, on second thought, not really).....:)

My sister is same way, her kids learn more in a shorter time than kids in school did.

I dropped out myself because school was so slow it was a boring waste of time. It's pretty bad when you are in 10th grade and your teacher is asking for your help on math. I still remember one problem we had (there was no answer book that he had) that he said was bad and did not have an answer and to skip it. He was wrong and I pointed out the answer.

I was no genius or whiz, I just loved math enough to study it as a hobby plus I was learning programming and my dad said it would help (it did).

They took half a year to teach trig, I learned it better than they taught it in a month. Again, it was a desire to learn that helped me excel at those things. Then I kept seeing the pattern repeated in other courses. Goes as slow as you can and pile on homework.
