Don't think in terms of "How long is the school day?" Rather, think about time on task.

Focus your strengths! You might not have the money to buy the latest box set curricula, but maybe you're darn good at finding quality resources in the library. Or maybe you're not very academically oriented yourself but you're great at crafting and creative projects. That's fantastic! Instead of working through a history book with your kids, do some historical-themed art projects. Work to your strengths.
