mo2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I am trying to move to a more LCC type structure, but the subjects my daughter absolutely loves are science and history. So I'm thinking of doing core subjects 4 days a week and science and history on the 5th. We would probably do core subjects on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri, and then science/history on Wed. Do you think this would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 This sounds like it would work well. Is it just that you want to leave more time to focus on science and history? I ask because a typical LCC schedule would have you doing each of these subjects one day a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this would work? I find that to get through a year's worth of the basics on a four day schedule -- and I'm just talking Latin and math -- my days have to be longer or I have to go year-round. Are you going to make your Latin & math days longer on M, Tu, Th & F by doing no science and history on those days, and then give an hour each to science and history on Wednesday?

mo2 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I work from home 5 hours a day, so by the time we finish with our core subjects, there is little time for the "extras." So I figured if I did history and science (which require a little more preparation than the core subjects) on Wednesday, which is my day off, that would leave plenty of time for them and I wouldn't feel like I had to rush through the core subjects. Thanks for responding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think it sounds great. I have done 4-days a week all along but we also do "light" schooling in the summer (as in only math and latin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
