Are our children to be “learning” in each subject 180 days out of the year or can there be uneven amounts per subject documented, per SC LAW?
There’s no specification in the law. You are free to decide how much of each subject to cover.
In elementary years we always did reading, writing and math activity/lesson each day. Then–another subject area: Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, Art, Music, PE. We had exceptions to that “schedule”–where we skipped everything for a field trip or really involved project we were doing.
Then, for High School, the student was given a certain amount of work to accomplish in a week–because we had some once-a-week classes that they needed to prepare for that. Sometimes, they would tackle all of one subject in a day…or sometimes divide it up a little bit of each subject per day. It was up to them to figure out the best schedule.
It’s really up to you to figure out what works for you.
