Home schooling

[Bendigo 2,341]

Anyone home school their kids?

It may be my boys next step 

the only down side is that my Mrs isn’t academic in the slightest . Street smart is the polite term

Home schooling you got to know what the schools teaching and you got to be educated yourself it's the older kids GCSEs they got to cover them too no good in our house hold all feet and inches our old man our late mother would not have the patience with our youngest brother she just to say PISS OFF UPSTAIRS YOU.

I know a kid,he is about 7 now,his mum is smart as,good degree,she schools him,I saw him at Christmas and he asked me my “Favourite arachnid” he is smart as a blade.

My nephews daughter is getting online language lessons,she is 8? she is getting Thai lessons from an online Bangkok based tutor and for a kid living in London her tones are fantastic,due to extra tuition.

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

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

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

I always thought you needed good standard of education yourself a degree to teach your own kids as schooling as changed over the decades technology skills language skills french Spanish etc when the kids hit secondary school level no good being behind you be left out and standards of education is rising a 7 or 8 year old learning basic computer programming we never did that not even in secondary school it would have been at college if you was right to do that level

If he can read and write the world is his oyster as long as he is willing put his mind to something. I was 33 before I could read and write and the change it made to every day life cannot be explained. School isn’t for everyone I saw it with my own lads was like trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. They fought they whole thing every step of the way and once they were free to do there own thing they soon found their way. Best of luck to the kid whatever he chooses to do don’t let the c**ts get you down.

I don’t think I have the academic ability or patience to home school, but I do try to give my grandson the more worldly outlook that he may not get at school, even though he attends an international school.

Cheers.

The Mrs has spent the last 2 days writing up the yearly report for our  daughter...she went to the comp for the first 12 months,in that time she went too 3 different schools, completely lost our faith in the education system..so we took the decision to start home schooling ourselves ..there's loads of groups etc you can join for free,we pay for a Spanish course,on line and have a friend of the Mrs,who is doing her teaching degree,that comes twice a week,she helps out with maths, English..my daughter is thriving to be fair..My eldest lad goes to a  ACT Unit after he was kicked out,of school for filling in a lad who was laughing and taking the piss ,after losing his Nan over the Xmas holidays schools are a fuckng toxic environment these days..theres only my 12 yr old lad in mainstream education... he's ok for now...but if needs be,We would pull him out as well...my kids wellbeing/health comes before any f***ing laws...you do what you got to do for them,no cnut else
