[Zearn](https://www.zearn.org/) Also, one quick note from a seasoned homeschool family, the actual education part of a school day doesn't have to last 8 hours! A lot of hours spent in a [traditional school](https://ourfamilylifestyle.com/national-school-choice-week/) setting are spent in lines, walking to classes, listening to a teacher's instructions, or doing other daytime work. When you're working at home, it's a much more independent, student-led study time. Things can be done at the individual child's pace and [learning style](https://ourfamilylifestyle.com/online-learning-for-kids-abcmouse/), which often doesn't require a full eight-hour day. We get all schoolwork done, typically at least 4 courses a day, in around 3-4 hours a day. It all depends on the subject, the student, the teacher, the lesson, and busy work. Most of all, ## YOU'VE GOT THIS! There are plenty of [homeschool groups on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/HipHomeschoolMomsCommunity/) where you can reach out for help as needed. There are several of us who have been doing this long enough we can help you walk through this. You're not alone.
