The public school system is the most prominent educational model in our culture. And it's often the one that homeschoolers look to for guidance or at least a set of standards to measure against.

But, if you've done more than a day or two of homeschooling, you quickly realize that home education is (and should be) vastly different.

One of the common questions and source of many a mom wondering if she's doing enough is how much time to spend on school. I thought it was about time to talk this through and decided to focus on the elementary age range.

And for fun, let's discuss what happens after the school day is done!
