KathrynJB is an unknown quantity
I work part-time, and when my son was older he'd tag along to meetings and such. Sometimes he brings a book and still does, but he's 13 and capable of being on his own, too.

We DON'T structure our lives like school. Julian takes a lot of the responsibility for his own learning now, and we rarely "sit down and do school." We spend a lot of time exploring the world, however--museums, trips, volunteering, concerts, etc. etc. Ultimately, however, Julian does MUCH more learning than the typical hours required of schools in a week.
