Homeschool mom inquires about homeschool groups that go from 7:30-4 where she doesn't have to do much teaching: 'Do you mean school?'

Contrary to popular belief, homeschooling doesn't always consist of a parent teaching their children by themself at home. This is the archetypal image of a homeschooling family: waking up late, doing math in their pajamas, with mom serving as the teacher. However, there are many other ways to educate children from outside of a public or private school setting. Many homeschool families spend a significant amount of time at museums or libraries, allowing them to get out of the house and bring learning outside the classroom, so to speak.

Some homeschoolers form homeschool co-ops, where parents with different expertise teach a small group of children, making the learning process more collaborative. Some might argue that homeschool co-ops are essentially schools, but most of them don't require the same time commitment as a traditional school. Homeschool co-ops do not necessitate a school administration, a cafeteria, or extracurricular activities. They can be a place for homeschoolers to find close community with one another, but that's not a requirement.

The mom in this story is looking for a homeschool co-op, but she doesn't want to put in the work of a homeschool co-op. She wants to be able to drop her kid off, have other people's parents teach him for 8 hours, and pick him up without having to do any of the homeschooling herself. That's not what homeschooling is in my book.
