Why do you need a homeschooling schedule? Because without one you will spend your days wandering from one project to another. Feeling extremely busy but accomplishing very little, if anything, at all. How strict does the home-schooling schedule need to be? Strict enough to keep everyone happy but not too strict that you become a slave to the schedule. Home-schooling isn't easy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. And how can it be? As parents, we already have a million things to sort out. Running a house is a job in itself. And let's not forget those parents that have to home-school and work full time. But home-schooling shouldn't be stressful either. And neither will it be if you create the right kind of homeschooling schedule for your family.
