We have a dedicated school room area off our kitchen.

I have a dedicated play/school room but that's mostly for storing all our toys/school stuff. We mostly like to do schoolwork at the living room coffee table sitting on the floor. On nice days, we'll drag a blanket outside and do schoolwork picnic style. We'll do schoolwork pretty much anywhere it strikes our fancy lol.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

I would say 99% of the time we work in the kitchen although we have been known to be in just about any place in the house doing our school work.

My bed, living room, family room, front porch, kitchen island, guest room, dining room table, back patio, car, van, kids' rooms, bathroom, front lawn, public library, church, town parks, etc. When we moved here I set up a table in its own corner of the large family room with a whiteboard, globe, bookshelves, and educational decor. We used it for about 3 days. LOL! DH works in the family room and doing school in the same room made me feel like I was being "observed" by a boss--very intimidating. (He was actually paying no attention to us at all.)

I generally have each kid do his/her own work in a separate room as they tend to spend a lot of time chit-chatting when together. But most of their work is not independent assignments, so they do spend a lot of time working and learning together in various-size groups all day.
