Home education, de-schooling, education otherwise… There are loads of different terms used to describe those of us who educate outside the “school system” and then there is flexi schooling.
Where we live none of the shools do “flexi schooling”. But then our LEA has no information on its web site about home education either!
so what is home education? Well I have no interest in formal, 9-3 sat at a desk all day education. that isnt education for me, although there are some home edders who do that. for me home education is providing opertunity to learn, facilitating learning experiences and helping the child to develop there own cognitaive and social skills.
Sounds good.. but in reality? Well at the moment it is loads of play with outside toys, reading books, looking at insects and the world around us and enjoying life to the full.
And after camp, that has mainly involved sitting infront of the tv, as Asha has had something with milk in it, and listening to the borrowers. She has listened to it as a book, a few weeks ago, listened to it as a tape this morning, and this afternoon she is watching it with daddy on T.V.
Tomorrow / later today, we may well make them a home :d
That is what I call home education.

That’s what I like about home education, the flexibility and every day is so different. It never ceases to amaze me how much they learn without you ever realising
It is the whole reason for home education, it allows true diversity in education. Thus allowing a personal centered educational package to be put together :d
