You going to home school your son? Not sure. He's always enjoyed school up until this year. He gave a couple of scroats a good kicking and he's just got himself into a position where every day some older brother or group wants to have a pop. He just can't be bothered anymore. His mates from the first year have all just gone super chav.... dressing in black tracksuits with balaclavas and thinking they are gangster. Mixed with with the constant left wing preaching and soft teachers. I just can't see the benefit of years more of this. He's at cadets, starting boxing again and has plenty friends outside of school. He could change schools to the one most of his mates go to but the reason he didn't go there originally is it's now over 50% Asian. So we are looking at all options 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need to do GCSEs. ' Home educators are required to provide a full-time, "suitable" education, but they have complete freedom over how this is achieved and which qualifications—if any—their children take. ' I figure he could do an evening language class, health and safety courses, first aid. As long as he's gaining qualifications then I can pay for loads privately that would be more use than anything he's currently studying. As I say.... only just looking at options yet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So we are looking at all options Tom was home taught buddy you will have to deregister him I will get Mrs to send you the template we used I think the rules are changing regarding home schooling so looking in to that might be worth checking if you're on Facebook there's loads of advice and groups on there you could always use a private tutor to set his work out for the week if you're struggling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
