If there's an Entire Week of lessons on Bill Gates, you are participating in Distance Learning of a Public School!  Homeschooling isn't simply doing school at home; it is PARENTS choosing the curriculum and the style that best meets the needs, talents, and calling on their child. That's when learning gains purpose and loses the busywork.  Normally, the best place to learn about curriculum options is at homeschool conventions, which are normally held this time of year (May & June) but are now cancelled. You'll figure it out though. I've already seen the advertising adapting online. We started homeschooling when it wasn't yet legal in all states. My "kids" are in their mid-late 30s now and wonderful, responsible, thinking adults. It was worth every single sacrifice.
