Home schooling?


Recommended Posts

Hi,


It is a couple of years before I have to think about primary school for my LO. But I am interested in home schooling - particuarly as I am worried about the lack of primary school places in Southwark, and worried we wont get into a school near us.

Have you any advice? Do you get help from the local council or do you have to fund it completely yourself? I imagine that, with other home schoolers locally, that the kids get as much socialisation as they would at school - is this the case?


Many thanks,

Belinda

Thanks Knomester, meant to post the same few days ago and forgot. Fi who runs Natural Childhood/magic circle groups is a great person to connect with in this area and lots of homeschoolers, would be homeschoolers and people just generally interested in child-led activities, attend. Plus the site is great and has loads of evidence-backed support for child-led learning.

    • The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks. 
    • That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it 
    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.
