The following question is from Sherry M.
“I have 2 quick questions and would greatly appreciate your advice.
My brother is considering homeschooling my niece and nephew (ages 8 and 9) but is not sure how many hours per day they should spend on school work. Should he treat it as if they are in a regular classroom (6 hours)?
Also, from your experience, is it better to study the same subjects every day (math, reading, etc) or vary the daily subjects?”
