Home Education aka Homeschooling

Home education starts at birth, so if you're a mum you've tried it and you know it works. Some mums never give school a look-in. Others try school but return to home ed to restore their children's confidence and give them a happier start in life and better prospects in exams.

It set me free to write my books, give my lectures and run this Norfolk Home Learning website, with methods, laws, Q & Aanxiety, bullying and tutoring pages, plus a contact page for anything else!

They certainly benefit socially, with like-minded families inviting them round to share books, music or informal lessons. In Norwich homeschooled kids can also have classroom lessons in various subjects up to GCSE. (Opting in for a few hours a week beats school captivity any day!)

School captivity! The words remind me of something a mum said: First they make you dress them like convicts; then they grade them like eggs.

I know how she felt! Decades ago, I quit as a teacher when clumsy labelling wounded Steven, my classroom clown.

Far from being stuck at home, home ed kids just aren't stuck at school! They're free to seize opportunities - like these two, seen starring in a film!

If only I'd given my own three children a home education!

I did home educate my grandchildren, now at uni or beyond. I've also helped dozens - even hundreds - of local families with home ed or school, some by tutoring at my place or theirs but often just with free advice!
