This is just her natural rhythm. She still gets her school done and turns in her work to me in the afternoon. She enjoys having the house quiet to study. She can't do that during the day when her little sister is up. This does not effect her ability to change her late schedule when needed. She has had volunteer jobs that required her to get up early and has had no problem adjusting when necessary. Don't worry about what those other folks think. If it works for you and your family then it is just fine. Sakkidra Homeschool Mom for 10yrs. Hi Helen,

I had to put a comment in our homeschool support group directory, "No phone calls before 9 a.m." because the phone will ring before 7! However, another thought. I do want my children to learn to get up with an alarm clock as, unfortunately, some day they will need to conform to whatever institutionalized world they choose to become a part of.
