Schedules !!!

Is it possible that we will ever be able to follow a schedule?

It occurred to me tonight, as I was making my umteenth schedule of the year, that while we homeschool we tend to completely ignore the clock. Math can sometimes take an hour and a half.

What if I actually forced us to *follow* that schedule? What if we put the math books away at the correct time. Would it be possible for us to finally finish what I have planned for a day?

I keep telling myself that the beauty of homeschooling is that there is no schedule. Perhaps I'm doing DS a disservice with this attitude. He is a slow worker. Perhaps I need to teach him to use his time more efficiently.

Hmm, I wonder. School starts next week. I'll have to try this out.

Of course, it is all contingent on me getting my butt out of bed on time in the morning.
