8filltheheart Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Really? 48-64 hours a week? My middle schoolers spend 6-8 hours per day which breaks down to 30-40 hours per week. This is not including their free reading time in the evenings which is about an hour per day. Momof7, would you be willing to post a typical schedule for your middle schoolers (or more specifically for your 8th graders)? I may have to post our fall line up and see what others think. TIA. Actually, I didn't multiply the right numbers!! I have a splitting migraine that I have had for 2 days that I cannot shake and being pregnant, there isn't much I can take. 8th graders typically do 6-8 hrs per day 5 days per week (I multiplied by 8th grade instead of 5 days!) So, yes, 30-40 hrs per week is correct! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in VA Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 LOL! I feel so much better. Sorry about your migraine though. I hope you're not in the first trimester, feeling icky stage on top of it all. LOL - I feel better too. I was so focused on agreeing with her advice that you can't just chop up the upper level studies that I didn't even do the math. Then I saw that and said 'gee that's almost 13 hours a DAY'. LOL Sorry to hear about the migraine - momof7. But congratulations. I didn't realize you were expecting. How exciting. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This is highly based on the suggested schedule from Sahamamama. ;) I'm glad those suggestions helped in some way. BTW, I peeked at your blog afterward, and your four children are adorable. I LOVE the photo of your oldest son -- the one whose schedule we've been tweaking! -- doing a cannonball into the pool. I got soaked just looking the pictures. Aaaahhhh, the carefree days of summer in childhood, LOL. I remember... Now, where's the pool? :001_smile: Marco! Polo! Marco! Polo!

LanaTron Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Aw, thanks. Of course, I think they're adorable, too! My poor kids aren't having such a carefree summer this year...we are schooling. but it's the weekend so we are definitely headed to the pool tomorrow!
