Ditto! One of the main reasons we chose to homeschool was so the kids could have a LOT of time outside in the fresh air and sunshine. In the early years, at least, we can get through all the necessary schoolwork in 2-3 hours, if there's no dawdling. And we only put in four days a week. Kiddo is not lagging behind in anything. Ask me again when they're high-school age and perhaps it'll be different. ;) But I remember being in school, and resenting the way so much of the time was filled with box-checking, waiting, busywork... and then it all followed you home and monopolized your time outside school in the form of homework!
