Hi
I have joined here in the hope of "learning" how to home school
I have a daughter in year 11 and a son in year 9 that i wished now I had of homeschooled.
I am not making the same mistake with our 16 month old daughter.
I want to homeschool
The fact she has Cystic Fibrosis is another contributing factor of why we want to do this.
She will spend a lot of time in hospital as she gets older and miss out on a lot of schooling. Even though there is a hospital school where she goes she will still miss out on a lot of classwork each admittance.
If we home school her we can continue her lessons all the time.
I feel the school system has failed my son who has recently been diagnosed as asperger syndrome. He totally failed year 7 and yet they sent him off to high school knowing full well he could not cope. Now we have our diagnosis for him he is getting a lot more help and intervention that he should have got years ago.
I have been trying since year 3 to have him kept back and repeat a grade but the school would not allow this.
They said his work was not far enough behind and he is jsut lazy......they threw him into the too hard basket and moved him up through the grades.
I have a few friends that home school and one that writes home schooling programs so we are a bit ahead of the eight ball so to speak.
I know i will need a lot of support and ideas as my daughter gets older and look forward to getting to know some home school mums and dads and learning how they started and their successes and failures and the traps to look out for
Thanks in advance
Luv Deb
