Our homeschoolers rarely spent more than 2 hours in formal homeschooling. The rest of the day they played. It was a fascinating process to watch because gradually their play became **intense** adult level work in developing their artistic and academic talents.
All of my children play a musical instrument. All sing in our church choir and later 2 were active in the university chorus. All took dancing lessons and as teens were very active in a local ball room dancing club. As elementary school aged children they were very active in the local community theater. They were active volunteers at the local library. One became an internationally and nationally ranked athlete who traveled the world representing the United States.
Academically, all were admitted to college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. All finished their general college course and Calculus 3 by the age of 15. The two younger completed a B.S. degree in mathematics by the age of 18. One earned a masters in math by 20. The oldest still managed to finish a masters in accounting by the usual age even though he was training full time as an athlete.
Not as much of this would have been possible if they had gone to school.
It is crazy that my daughter is doing so well yet she is just average in the home school group around here.
She is not doing as well as your kids but she will still have her BS by the time she is 20. It just amazes me how far behind the public school kids are. Like you my kids spend just a few hours a day doing school work.
I hope your next pilot, surgeon & lawyer never went to school.
Then when you are either dead or in jail you can brag about how superior your spawn are.
