 When I homeschooled I also worked the trade store i.e the natives came anytime to buy goods. I attended to the injured and sick villagers and plantation workers. I'd leave the three children with work never knowing how long I'd be. The Aid Post and Store was 60 walking paces from the house. Often when I went back home there was either a mighty skuttle back to desks after raiding the sweet condensed milk tubes or shrieks of laughter coming from the river at the front of the house. They didn't realise I could hear floating on the wind every word they said and it was always my kids telling the native kids 'don't look up at the house.'  
 In hindsight I think those years homeschooling had to fit around what we were doing. I always started at 9.30am but then anything could happen.

Spellbound: When I went swimming at the local Y a few years ago, there were a few women who came in with their kids during thee Open Swim period was from 12 to 2. However, these kids were school-aged. I kind of wondered "Why aren't these kids in school?" Then I found out that they were being homeschooled. One woman didn't like the public school district that she lived in. Another woman couldn't afford to send her kids to private school.

With the way the public schools are going, more and more parents are probably going to end up homeschooling their kids.
