I don't know so much if it's a bid for trying to get more "free" time or what, but Web-Princess over the weekend asked if we could do school like this. Work-Free Time; Work-Free Time; Work-Free Time.
I thought about it and said why not? I could use the Free Time to make sure I had the subject ready and they wouldn't have to wait on me. So we agreed that we would do a subject then have 20 minutes of free time, do a subject and then have 20 minutes of fee time, do a subject.... (I'm sure you get the picture)
During that free time, the kids can play or whatever, and I can makes sure I'm ready for the next subject, do a chore, read a book, or even blog. I just have to make sure the timer is set and when it goes off we go back to the school work.
We'll try this for the week and I'll let you know how it went. :)
We were unschoolers so all of our time was free time, or work time, not sure how I would look at it! There were nail-biting moments but I need not have worried! All has come out well. Both of my kids are well educated and are not dolts! LOL The great thing about homeschooling is that you can do it whatever way works for your family!
