Interesting. I hear a lot of homeschoolers only spend two hours a day teaching but the kids do way better than government schooled kids.

“I hear a lot of homeschoolers only spend two hours a day teaching but the kids do way better than government schooled kids.”

That’s how it was with my brother’s three boys. Their mom home-schooled them. The format was un-structured, but everything was covered. They had to take the exact exams as the other NYS students at the same time, and my nephews scored at the top every time. (They scored higher than kids in higher grades.)

Teachers are required to pace at the slowest kid's level of understanding.
