No method of learning is effective without adequate time. Time takes structure. "Structure" is a dangerous word in modern education because most parents and teachers were themselves public
schooled.
[Often,] when a parent decides to home school, she sets it up the only way she knows how--like a little conveyor belt. "At 8:00 o'clock we're going to do math, and at 8:50 we'll do English, and at 9:40 history," etc.
But they can never hope to teach students "what to think" as well as the public conveyor belt with its hallways, lockers, credits, grade levels and bells.
If the goal is teaching them how to think, we need to do it the leadership way. We need structure in order to give adequate time and attention to learning, and the key is to structure the time, not the content.
