[quote:Anonymous Coward 70619332:MV8zMjQ2MDU4XzU4MDE5NjA0X0Q4NTgxQjFE] Yes it is easy -- at their ages it might be 1-2 hours of work daily. It becomes 2-3 as they get closer to middle school. What will they be doing the rest of the day, do you have day care planned? Homeschool buyers co-op is a great place for resources. (free to sign up) Also homeschoolreviews and Cathy Duffy's blog. Good luck! [/quote]

I'm getting divorced (thanks, oxycontin!) I have twin boys who are going into first grade. I homeschooled them for their kindergarten year and they did great. They're testing way above their grade level.
I was a stay at home mom, but now I'm getting back into the workforce. Ideally, I'll be working part time and going to school part time. But I may have to give up school and just work full time. Either way...
Homeschooling wasn't all that hard when they were kindergartners and I was going to school full time.
Is it possible that homeschooling could actually be easier than public schooling? Especially with all the common core crap that's going on... I mean, their homework is my homework, right? Are they going to be bringing home a whole bunch of nonsense for me to have to figure out, instead of just teaching them a proper lesson? And is it possible that by avoiding the inevitable unruly influences so commonly found in public schools I will be saving myself a world of trouble? They're such nice boys- I would hate to see their attitudes change.
Can a single mother with primary custody homeschool?
