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 when school neglects their children's needs or hurts their confidence. Home education wins out for positive reasons, too, such as children's wellbeing and success in exams.

Home education is private schooling that saves you money but costs you time! You'll spend some of it getting out and about and probably having friendly meet-ups with other homeschooling families, often at home-based book clubs, science groups etc.

 

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.

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!

The basic fact is that home ed kids aren't stuck at home, they're just not 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. Since then, I've helped dozens of Norfolk families with home ed or school. Send me a message and I'll reply promptly.
