Man! This is a pain! In Indiana, we have to keep attendance for 180 days. We take off from the day before Thanksgiving to the first weekday after :jessilu:'s birthday (Jan. 3) for our winter break and a week and a day for Easter.
So, I'm at the point where we either have to do 6 days of school a week, if we want to start and end the same way we always do (start the day after Labor Day and end around Memorial Day) or start three weeks early and end three weeks late.
If we do the first one, :jessilu: will be in school when her friends are off on Saturdays. If we do the second one, she will be in school a week early and out two weeks later than her friends.
I'm always so busy the month between Thanksgiving and :jessilu:'s birthday and the week of Easter that I have to have that time to deal with all of that.
I wish we had more local homeschoolers than we do.
