Slash the Busy Work in Your Homeschool
Can you think back to your own school days?
All those assignments you had to push through even though you already knew the material?
That “busy work” often had a purpose in a traditional classroom. Teachers—loaded with the responsibility of teaching 15-20 kids and filling up an entire school day—needed something to keep students occupied while helping others. But in your homeschool, you don’t have to waste time that way.
Here’s the truth: If your child can demonstrate that they’ve mastered a concept, you don’t need to make them slog through page after page, problem after problem, just for the sake of completion.
👉 Here’s what I do in my homeschool:
If my child says, “Mom, I already know this,” I let them prove it.
I’ll pick a few random problems from the lesson—easy, medium, and hard—to make sure they truly understand.
If they can ace it, we move on.
If they struggle a bit, I might assign a few more problems for practice, and once they’ve got it, then we move forward.
This simple adjustment cuts out unnecessary busy work, saves hours each week, and reduces frustration—for both parent and child.
You see, one of the greatest freedoms of homeschooling is being able to cut out the unnecessary and focus on what really matters. No more wasting hours on busy work just to fill time; you can move at the pace your child is actually ready for.
