Best of Series is a replay of Ep. 4. 

Today we’re talking about whether homeschooling needs to look like public school at home. Homeschool kids can usually complete their schoolwork in a few hours compared to the seven hours in a public school day. 

About how many hours a day do your homeschool kids need to spend on sit-down work/bookwork? Check out our handy chart for a basic idea of sit-down time and find lots of other ways to incorporate learning into your day. 

In this episode, Emma and Beth also talk about block scheduling and schooling kids of multiple ages together.
