Chapter 40 - And Just When Do I Do All This? Schedules for Home Schoolers
第40章 - 我什么时候做这一切？家庭教育者的时间安排

To choose time is to save time. —Francis Bacon

选择时间就是节省时间。——弗朗西斯·培根

Home education is a family commitment. We've noticed that in many families the entire responsibility for teaching the kids is shifted to one overworked parent.

家庭教育是一种家庭承诺。我们注意到在许多家庭中，教学孩子的全部责任都转移到一个过度劳累的父母身上。

If one parent works full-time while the other teaches, that's a fine arrangement. But the job of planning lessons, investigating curricula, taking trips, reviewing progress, going to conventions, and generally talking about what goes on in home school needs to be shared by both parents.

如果一个父母全职工作而另一个教学，这是一个很好的安排。但是计划课程、调研教材、安排旅行、检查进步、参加会议，以及一般性地讨论家庭学校的情况这些工作需要双方父母共同分担。

Life is made up of hard but rewarding choices. It isn't possible for both parents to pursue demanding full-time careers while home-educating. Flex-time, part-time, or semester-oriented jobs (like teaching) can be worked around home schooling.

生活由艰难但有回报的选择组成。双方父母在进行家庭教育的同时都追求高要求的全职职业是不可能的。弹性工作时间、兼职工作或学期性工作（如教学）可以与家庭教育相结合。

A full-time criminal lawyer and a practicing obstetrician, married to each other, won't be able to manage.

一个全职刑事律师和一个执业产科医生，如果彼此结婚，将无法管理（家庭教育）。

How Much Time Does It Take? / 需要多少时间？

After having taught in a classroom, Jessie found that she could accomplish as much instructing—and a great deal more one-on-one interacting—in less time at home. The children didn't spend time on a bus or in lines.

在教室教学后，杰西发现她能在家庭用更少的时间完成同样多的教学——以及更多的一对一互动。孩子们不需要花时间坐公交车或排队。

And with immediate detection of errors and on-the-spot correction, instruction time is more efficient and progress is faster.

通过立即发现错误和当场纠正，教学时间更加高效，进步也更快。

For kindergarten, intensive instruction in reading, writing, and math can be done in about an hour, gradually increasing to five to six hours per day in high school.

对于幼儿园，阅读、写作和数学的强化教学大约一小时就能完成，在高中时逐渐增加到每天五到六小时。

Good Use of Time / 时间的有效利用

Read in the evenings, instead of watching TV. For once-a-week family entertainment, go to the public library together instead of to the mall or movies.

晚上阅读，而不是看电视。作为每周一次的家庭娱乐，一起去公共图书馆，而不是去商场或电影院。

Take control of the telephone. Take it off the hook, turn off the ringer—but don't answer it when you're home-schooling. And tell family and frequent callers not to call when you're teaching.

控制电话。把话筒拿起来，关掉铃声——在进行家庭教育时不要接听。告诉家人和经常打电话的人在你教学时不要打电话。

Yearly Planning / 年度规划

There's no particular reason why you should home-school every day for nine months and then take the summer off. The children burn out during the year and get bored (and forget all their math) over the long summer break.

没有特别的理由为什么你应该每天家庭教育九个月然后夏天休息。孩子们在学年期间会疲倦，在漫长的暑假中会感到无聊（并忘记所有的数学）。

We advise going year-round and taking vacations throughout the year. Here are plans that are time-equivalent to the traditional nine-month school year.

我们建议全年进行，并在一年中安排假期。这里有一些计划，在时间上等同于传统的九个月学年。

Home Schooling with Babies and Toddlers / 与婴儿和幼儿的家庭教育

Try these ideas to keep babies and toddlers occupied: Do something with the youngest children first. Then give them independent activities or toys that are only brought out at "schooltime."

尝试这些想法来让婴儿和幼儿保持忙碌：首先与最小的孩子们做一些事情。然后给他们独立的活动或只在"上学时间"拿出来的玩具。

Make a "job" chart for toddlers, with pictures of activities. Don't ask, "What do you want to do?" or "Do you want to color?" Children always choose to do something else.

为幼儿制作一个带有活动图片的"工作"图表。不要问"你想做什么？"或"你想涂色吗？"孩子们总是选择做其他事情。
