two hours a day
So how many hours do you homeschool a first grader? Typically, two hours a day is more than enough. Some homeschoolers find that their children learn more effectively when they break their lessons up into 15-20 minute increments since it keeps them engaged and better focused.

A 180-day school year is fairly standard and works out to four 9-week quarters, two 18-week semesters, or 36 weeks. Most homeschool curriculum publishers base their products on this 36-week model, making it a good starting point for planning your family’s schedule. They take breaks and days off as needed.

Thirty Ways to Make Money While Homeschooling

2. Babysitting/day care/after school care for public school students.

These psychologists warned parents that their children may experience difficulty entering “mainstream life” and may not grow up to be “complete people” if taught at home. And a study of parents whose children attended public schools reported that 61% believed homeschooled children were isolated (Gray, 1993).

Research suggests homeschooled children tend to do better on standardized tests, stick around longer in college, and do better once they’re enrolled. A 2009 study showed that the proportion of homeschoolers who graduated from college was about 67%, while among public school students it was 59%.

A few clicks and Homeschool Planet automatically reschedules your whole year. Try doing that with a paper planner! Schedules for you and your family, vital school records, lesson plans, to do lists, shopping lists — everything you need to manage your home and homeschool, all in one place.

The Lesson Plan Marketplace on Homeschool Planet’s website has been developed since I first reviewed the program. While the lesson plans are optional add-ons (at additional cost), they make scheduling lessons as easy as it can get.
