Here were two kids who did well in school, yet homeschooling looked attractive to them. School bored them. We were hesitant to make any changes. Additionally, my husband and I had a long list of questions. Library research and talking to local home educators took care of most of our questions about homeschooling.
Any parent considering homeschooling is well-advised to do the same.
As I said, I observed for two full days. During those days, I kept track of administrative time versus on-task time. The two days I attended, total on-task time each day amounted to less than one hour. Less than one hour out of six. It was appalling.
