Kids should be out of doors at least an hour everyday. It's true, that's one of the things kids from traditional schools miss out on. When I was asked So you just stay at home all day and study? What about your child's playtime and social life? They're always shocked when they learn that we only do study time for 2 hours. The rest is for playtime, going outside, hobbies, chores, etc. Homeschoolers are indeed lucky because of this setup.

yeahh! just the same! they all think we should study all day long to reach the school level. How funny it is;)) the same with me, we study 1-2 hours per day, and it's enough to know not less (or even more than at school). If we devote 3-4 hours per day for studying, our kids will take 1 school year for 6 months or faster. Many unschooling parents say that 10 -11 years is too much for such a school program, it can be done much faster. But it's possible only in unschooling. I absolutely agree with you that kids should have most time for their games, hobbies and interests. otherwise, they will devote life for school. And they will hate it for this. Like all schoolkids do.
Studying at home doesnt mean staying at home for 24 hrs or studying for 24 hrs. Its just a silly question. No connection here... Socializing well with other kids I consider to be the most important thing (which, ofc, requires getting out).
