I homeschool DS8 1/2 day and have homeschooled DD15 in the past. The most important thing for us was letting the kids have a say in the subjects and structure of their days.
While they both understand that the core subjects have to be done, we left a lot of time for exploring their passions and interests. I also learned to work their less favorite things into areas they really wanted t explore. My DD wanted to learn to cook and I found a cookbook in metric. Forced to make conversions, it was math and cooking all at once!
Shari Mom to DS 10, DS 11, DS 13 Ability doesn't make us, Choices do!
