I have been told I am doing the school at home method. The truth is, I'm somewhat new at this, and am really winging it. I just have all the basic subjects, plus music (meaning I let him go practice his guitar), P.E. (we do yoga, or run around the block), and spainish. I do one lesson in each subject, in no particular order, and it takes however long it takes for that lesson, 20 mins- 1 hour or so, except for Spainish, which we don't necesarilly do every day. We also do math flashcards, and will play one educational game, either "Are You Smarter than a fifth grader", "Fact or c**p", or he plays with the turbo twists (we have one for spelling and math). For each subject he does with a good attitude and effort, he gets 10 mins of video game time after school. For each subject he has a bad attitude, or talks back when I give him the instructions, he subtracts ten minutes from video game time. I could probably use some pointers, & I have no idea if this is the best method 4 us.
