To share or not to share?

Here’s an equation I’ve been puzzling over lately:

3x(2y)+h=s

wherein:
x = the numbers of bedrooms in our house
y = the number of children in our family
h = homeschooling
s = where, precisely, is the homeschooling going to take place?

We’ve been doing our schoolwork at the kitchen table and on the couch. It’s worked out fine, but I’d like to get all of the stuff into one place. I’ve been thinking about putting the kids’ beds in one bedroom and turning the other room into a playroom/schoolroom space. Because we have a boy and a girl, it wouldn’t be a long-term solution. But right now they’re nearly-5 and nearing-3, and I think they’d be fine with limited privacy for a few years, at least.

What do you think?
