Homeschool families can generally spend less time teaching something at home, than it takes a teacher with twenty-five to thirty students to accomplish. In the state of Tennessee, a child that is unable to come to public school for a disability is assigned a home teacher. The ages and number of children, family lifestyle, philosophy of education, extracurricular activities of parents and children, and choice of curriculum, are a few of the many factors to consider how much time to take.
Children are different with different needs.
Some need minimal instruction some need constant supervision. On average children under seven need one or two hours. Older children need about four hours a day. College prep students should be working mostly on their own with parental guidance for planning and correction. Many moms learn to organize their time once they begin to homeschool.
