Not stupid at all-- this is a part of why we've stuck with a virtual school. We need the external certification to gain easier access to activities/options at an appropriate educational level, true...
but we are also not willing for "schooling" at this level to consume the 10+ hours daily that it does for most high-achieving high school students.
DD only needs about 3-4 hr a day to do her coursework. The rest of her time is spent in ways that seem appropriate and enriching to all of us. Well, opinions on relative worth of skype with friends and piano practice vary, but we all agree that community service and free reading, 4-H, etc. are good. LOL.
