ZR>I don't homeschool for 4 hours straight anyway... perhaps I'm a lot like
ZR>you... but we do little bits and pieces all day long.  Sometimes we watch
ZR>something on the Learning Channel late at night (ten-ish) and I'll add 
hat

ZR>take doing it non-stop either.  He does one project at a time.. then 
lays,

ZR>project.  Somehow, during the day, we generally come up with enough hours
ZR>of genuine learning activity.  The homestudy office is supportive of this
ZR>kind of teaching.  Personally, I believe that my son is getting a /much/
ZR>better education than he would at school.  I try to teach him at 
/teachable/
ZR>moments, taking into account /his/ mood... it isn't done by the clock or
ZR>by teacher's schedule.  It is the times when he is emotionally available
ZR>for learning that we actually do things together.
        That is how we do things here.  Learning is hard work, and
homeschooling is very information dence.  We pour a lot into these kids.
It should be done in blocks small enough for them to handle.
