"My state law states that you must have 1080 hours (175 days, 6 hours a day) of homeschooling.
My 8 year old son does 50-100 problems of math, 3-4 worksheets of spelling, 2 pages in science and history, money, clocks and reads 2-3 books a day. He is usually done in about 3-4 hours. Is this all we need to do or am I missing some subjects. I have tried to keep records but have down what we cover each day and attendance. I haven’t really started testing him yet. We have only been homeschooling for about a month. How often should I test him. Do you keep up with grades? If he doesn’t get something correct, I discuss it with him and let him redo.
Please help me get started on the right track!” ~ydn
Not all states have a required number of hours that must be met. But if yours does, it’s really not that difficult to meet the number of hours required. Not all hours have to be sitting down in front of books. Let’s see if we can’t help this homeschooler out.
