One of the great myths of homeschooling. It actually takes less time, for me. I can be talking while I make breakfast, and we are all still in PJs.
Most of my kids have done both and public school was much, much harder, not to mention ridiculous, for the short time we tried it. I well recall my oldest daughter coming home with 4 completed art projects and all of her math and language to be done - at home. At which point I figured - why not just do it all myself?
Exactly!

This was my experience, also. My daughter missed the last 6 weeks of first semester in 1st grade due to illness. The first week, the teacher sent home her work. Working just a little bit every day for a week (with a sick child), we easily completed all of it. I took it in the next week and asked for another week's worth. The teacher gave me this wierd look and said, I sent you everything until Christmas vacation already last week! That's when a light went off in my head and I wondered what the *()& those kids did in school all day, anyway. I'm now in my 4th year of homeschooling my three children, including my 6yo, who has never stepped foot in so much as a preschool. I will never look back.
