Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

For quite some years I have wanted to try a year round schedule of roughly 6-7 weeks on, 1 week off. My eldest, ds15, is not keen shall we say . In theory this shouldn't stop me having a go at year round scheduling with ds9, as ds15 works independently. Our second child, ds13, goes to school. My main concern is that I may feel as though I never really get a break as in our off weeks I would still be correcting work, doing read-alouds (not work, I know) and making sure he does what is required.

So have any of you ladies tried a different schedule when your older children were either at school, or worked to the same times as school children? Do you think it's a crazy idea?

I don't think it is a crazy idea at all. We do a lot of nature study things during the summer. I classify that as school and note it as such. I don't do a lot of writing etc. But we do a lot of reading. I am currently using a curriculum for pre-school introducing the alphabet. So take one month to do a letter.
Go for it!
