    Enjoy, it could be worse. Unless you are planning to leave soon just out of education stress, teach them to read and enjoy books when they are home. I homeschooled my kids for 5-10 years, they also have been to American and Dutch schools. Now with 3 in universities, they only talk fondly about their time homeschooling and think it prepped them for real life and university the best. I would never encourage homeschooling or relaxed education but I’m surprised the kids did their best growing/learning/reading/exploration then.

    My daughter is still close with her American friends and they are in school and sports activities for 12+ hours a day. She sleeps and studies in class and is burning out for a chance to go to a sub-par Florida university. My kid in contrast is studying at a university a few hours, studying at home, riding her bike, has a part-time job and loads of great friends. This is a dream life in comparison.
