Anyone here do homeschooling? Even though my DD has already been through traditional pre-school, and is enrolled for Kindergarten in the Fall, the idea of homeschooling has recently filled a lot of my thoughts, mainly because of a couple families in my ward who are doing it, and how wonderful and smart their kids are. I also love the idea of not having to worry about my kids being bullied like I was in elementary school, and also the flexibility in being able to take family vacations in the "off season", and not having to worry about the difficulties of having a child switch schools during the school year because of a move (we plan to move in the next 2-3 years, and obviously can't predict or plan on it happening during Summer vacation.)

Some questions I have are:

How much time during each day do you dedicate to "school"?

Do you have a "classroom" in your house, or is it just your kitchen table? Where do you keep your school supplies?

How do you handle teaching kids at different grade levels at the same time?

Do you buy pre-made curriculums, or come up with your own?
