4kids4me Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Right now I'm working just 5 hours a week from 3pm on one evening. There's a possibility I could work at another place Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings. My kids ages are gr. 10 down to gr. 2. I'm just not sure if a) leaving the kids home alone during a school day is a good idea (from the eyes of the educational system, child protective services...I know 15yo dd can handle things, but should she?) and b) if I have enough time to get all our school work done since Wednesday afternoons are also piano, so really the whole afternoon is a write-off. Does anyone do this? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I think you could miss one morning of schooling. Leave them things they can/like to do or a video to watch for science or history. You will need to make good use of your home time. Give it a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I did that a few years ago. It was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Given the ages of your children, I think they'd be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kids4me Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 I talked to dh about it and we both feel uneasy with the possibility of something going wrong and child services questioning why I'm not there when I'm to be schooling them. Thanks for your replies! I appreciate the confidence! The eldest certainly could have handled it. She's amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
