Can a divorced parent still have time to home school his or her children?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Whether someone has time to home school is up to the individual. There are plenty of divorced or single parents who work full-time, raise kids, prepare meals, keep the house, take classes, date and go to the gym. It's about time management, organization and personality. Each person must decide for himself/herself what is possible.

Yes, as long as you have the time and ability to home school your kids. It may be more difficult for a divorced parent if they are the only earning member of the family, however. Try to share some of the daily caretaking responsibilities with other family members.

It is theoretically possible, but extremely unlikely to be viable. The parent will have to not only have a job, but also take care of the numerous small tasks that are essential for any household. This just does not leave enough time, unless the parent is wealthy, for home schooling.

Homeschooling requires SIGNIFICANT time and energy invested in the kids, and that's in addition to "regular" childrearing tasks (feeding, bathing, quality time, etc. ). A parent must seriously evaluate his schedule.
