Thousands of different options lay before you when it comes to home school and thousands of different books and such give you advice on which options to choose.
But where does this advice come from? A lot of the time it is based on stats and statistics.
What SHOULD work.
We believe that our childrens' education and welfare should have more thought put into it than what should work. We know that every child is different and homeschooling isn’t all about academic success.
So, to help you make the right homeschooling decisions for you and your family I, having been homeschooled myself for several years, have written an e-book about my experience.
I talk about issues that I know are important to parents thinking about homeschooling or parents committed to homeschooling but have concerns.
1) The basics - our home school situation
2) Reasons for homeschool - Why do parents/carers decide to home school? I discuss this in this chapter and share why our parents decided to home school us.
3) Leaving school - Worried about the effect leaving school will have on your kids? Here I will share how I felt and offer essential advice for you to help your kids through this tough time.
4) Teaching styles - Thinking about how you want to teach your kids? Here are some things to consider about what your kids are thinking when it comes to being taught.
5) Rewarding and punishing in home school - Reward? Punish? Both?How? In this chapter I discuss different methods and share what methods we used.
6) Returning to school - Worried about returning your kids to school or unsure of how they will cope? Here I discus, honestly, what it was like for me and offer the best advice when it comes to supporting your kids through this transition.
7) Advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling - Not sure you want to home school your kids? Worried about the effect it may have on them? Here I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of home schooling.
The purpose of this e-book is NOT to tell you what to do but instead to give you an insight into what your kids think about the whole home school experience.
In each chapter I first talk about my experience:
1) How I felt
2) What impact it had
3) How I dealt with my feelings
This is to create an understanding in you about what your kids are going through and what they may think about different aspects of home school.
I then give my advice based on what would have improved my experience. This may help you to support your kids more effectively.
'There were some practical things that I did found hard when Ifirst returned to school.
For example, I didn’t like to talk to the teachers because I wasn’t comfortable with talking to teachers in such a formal manner, addressing them with ‘sir’ etc. This was something I had to simply get used to as I got more comfortable with being in school. The main reason I mention this is that I didn’t want to ask my teachers for help when I needed it.This can be dangerous as, like it was for me, it can mean that children are not getting the support they need when they need it most.
I also was unsure of doing small tasks on my own. Not work wise, but practical tasks such as picking things up from places and borrowing chairs from other classrooms. This was driven by a fear of not being sure what to do if I got lost or if I did something wrong and I think this feeling was shared by a lot of the other children. Middle school is scary to begin, regardless of whether you have been home schooled.
I found it difficult when everyone began asking, ‘what elementaryschool did you go to?’. This was because I didn’t want to say that I hadn’t gone to elementary school but did home schooling. I thought that other kids would think I was weird and different because of all the misconceptions around about home schooling.
Boy was I wrong!
Many of the kids who I told thought...
