59. Do you have to do sit-down school work all day when you homeschool? (Episode 4 Replay)

(Episode 4 Replay) Today we’re talking about whether homeschooling needs to look like public school at home. Homeschool kids can usually complete their schoolwork in a few hours compared to the seven hours in a public school day.
