home education9 What do teachers think about home education?

I am a home schooling mom. I have already had to deal with opposition in our school district because I have decided to teach my children at home. I just wanted to know what the general feeling was in the teaching community.

Since I know the social life of my children might be the TOP reason most people state, please let us just skip that one in order to hear out some more thought out answers.


home education6 Families in the UK who do home education get an income

I’m just curious to know, how does a single parent teach there son or daughter by Home-education, get a second income (other than weekly benefits)? How does it work as they obviously can’t get a job.

Who looks after the child if there is no baby-sitter, no other family members/or friends living nearby. And I mean an older child, over 14 at least. Is having a part-time job even allowed for a Home-educating single parent? Could you have a job part-time for maybe just 4 hours a week? Thanks for any replies!


home education3 Possible changes to the new home education law in uk?

Do you like me think this is more of a welfare issue rather than an educational one and should be addressed as such? Comments and suggestions for and against. Thks in advance!:)

The abusers used Home Education as a cover for the abuse and went undetected for those unfamiliar with this. Education should not be questioned if welfare is the primary concern, or do you think both are affected in some cases? Why question everyone home educating in the same way?


home education7 After home education did you find it hard to transfer to collage ?

Was the transfer hard?

Was it hard to make friends?
Was there to much work?
Was it over your education experience?
I just wanted to ask homeschoolers what they thought of collage.
