What I wouldn't give for 48 hours in the house without leaving! That NEVER happens when homeschooling!
Seriously, you have the wrong idea! We homeschoolers usually call it "carschooling," and my biggest complaint personally (as an introvert) is that I'm all the time having to be with people!
Here's our schedule:
M: leave home at 12:15
Get home at 6:30
T: leave home at 12:45
Get home at 3:45/6:00
(This is a playdate day though, so if we're home, someone else is, too...)
W: leave home at 10:30
return home at 6:30
Th: leave home at 12:45
return home at 3:45/6:00
(Another playdate/errand day)
F: leave home at 9:00
return home at 3:45, unless it's Cub Scout night, when we're home at 9:00.
Sat: leave home at 9:00
return home at 3:30
Sunday: nothing official! Whew!
See what I mean!?
Let me stress that this is our choice, so for people who *want* to be home more, that's certainly possible to choose instead. And I'll admit that we're not with people all the time we're out of the house. But it should demonstrate that you *can* be out of the house every day of the week and still homeschool quite effectively.
Not to be argumentative, but as a former "Oh, I could never do that" person, I just wanted to dispell that particular myth. Homeschoolers usually are, in fact, very rarely home!
