If a student has a particular strength in math for instance, and his/her parents are homeschooling, then should they focus on math? Should they spend extra time on math, and fully develop that strength?
One reason parents homeschool is that they can teach their children at their level. If your son is gifted in math, he may learn two or more years of "school math" each year even if he studies math for only an hour a day. Extra time on math may not be necessary if the time is spent well. If your son wants more math after the allotted time is over, he can work on math on his own, perhaps reading "recreational math" books such as those by Martin Gardner or "contest math" books with Math Olympiad problems.
