How often do you hear, “I could never do that!” It’s one of those expressions often said when a parent is presented with the idea of home education. Then again, there are the questions about time factor. Then, as they perhaps begin to consider the possibilities of homeschool they wonder about how much or how little time is needed for educating a child.

Today our bloggers are sharing the realities of how much time it really does take to homeschool.
