He's in 5th grade and it currently takes him about 5 hours per day to complete his studies. Is this a normal amount of homeschool time for a child his age pursuing a classical approach to schooling? Should I re-evaluate his work load?
Subjects include:
Math,
Language Arts: grammar, spelling, Latin Greek roots for vocabulary, dictionary skills, literature, writing; but not all on the same day
History: world history and state history
Piano lessons/practice
Typing
Science
Lots and lots of reading independently both for fun and books that I've chosen for development/education
