Michael, I don't know a single homeschooled child that doesn't participate in at least three activities a week ;) That's a frequently asked question and imho a bit of an urban legend. Homeschooled kids actually have *more* time for activities because teaching time is teaching time, not disciplinary time or administrative time, so lessons are covered quickly and everyone goes on to other things. Public schooled children, for example, don't get to work on presidential campaigns the way Lara did, because there are laws mandating that their learning must take place in classrooms, sitting down.
