One of the big selling points of homeschooling is that it frees up a lot of time for kids to explore, play, go on outings, or to do just about anything they please.

Some homeschoolers I've known or worked with have said they spend 2-4 hours per day on formal learning, and then they have time to do other activities. Compare this to the 8+ hours a child might spend in a government or private school!

For the homeschoolers on Nostr, do you find the average times above to be accurate? What do you do with your kids outside of formal learning time?

For the non-homeschoolers, what would you do with all of those extra hours every week? Just imagine the possibilities!

The hours are about right for us. More towards the 4 hrs for our 9 year old (depending how stubborn she is) and maybe an hour or two for our 5 year old.

When they are not engaged in schoolwork it's just unstructured time. My daughter reads 2-3 long books a week, sews and crafts and my son plays and practices fighting moves. They play games together too.
