The previous thread was for temporary home schooling.
My teenage grandchildren have never been to school (and are doing very well).
I thought I would share some of their experiences as there may be others here who are contemplating this form of education.
The M.O. used from the start was to teach the children when they were showing an interest i.e. Don't force them.
One thing that has helped tremendously is that they do not have access to televisions or mobile phones. Computer browsing is limited.
The children are given 5 subjects a day (they choose their timetable) plus plenty of exercise.
Two retired local teachers are employed for one hour a week to teach English French and Maths and we (the grandparents) help where we can.
We don't have all the answers; if anyone is genuinely interested and has any questions or suggestions then please fire away.
