Homeschool High School Schedule

We’ve gotten more relaxed in our schedule with moving and settling in Germany but still having no Internet.

I’m sure this schedule will change more after I don’t have to leave the house for Wi-Fi and can adjust to a healthier rhythm at home.

Trying to explain to Liz that high school level work requires more time and effort than the level the girls are doing. I know it’s hard and it’s often unpleasant. We need to work on balance and time management.
