HomeschoolingSchoolphobic? Bullying Problems? Missed Lessons? Poor Teaching? Disability? Illness?Homeschooling - how can that make all the difference and how do you go about getting the ball rolling? An ever-increasing number of parents are becoming disillusioned with the standards of teaching and student-control in our schools and are turning to home-education as a preferred means of giving their children a solid foundation upon which to build. A lot of parents turn to tuition agencies to provide a complementary service to themselves (eg they may need help with a particular subject or subjects while they do the rest) or even come to an agency for the whole curriculum. Tutors can assist homeschoolers in a number of ways. Because of the cost involved, we strongly recommend parents consider online tuition which is roughly half the price of face-to-face tuition yet you still get a qualified and experienced person in real time. Apart from the price, the system allows the agency to bring its full subject coverage to even the most rural of areas. It is also easier to provide the service at just about any time of day. Anysubject Ltd is pleased to recommend Letshomeschool to parents interested in home educating their children. Letshomeschool is run by Angie Farnaman, an experienced homeschooler herself. The following information was provided by Letshomeschool which we feel is a reputable source of information and advice. Anysubject Ltd cannot, however, be held responsible for the consequences of any action taken as a result of this advice and parents are strongly advised to discuss matters with their Local Education Authority before undertaking any action. For parents who have considered homeschooling but are "sitting on the fence" we have come up with a list of reasons to homeschool your child. We know that homeschooling is not right for all children or all parents but it is a great education alternative. Please look through this list and if you would like more information visit us at http://www.letshomeschool.com/
In the UK homeschooling is an option for anyone regardless of funds available however there are certain criteria that have to be met. There are many sites advocating that parents can homeschool FULL-STOP and do so without any official permission but it is not as easy as that. Technically this is true but (and 'but' can be a big word) Local Education Authorities (LEA's) have the following responsibilities (in plain English). They have the power and obligation to ensure that:
This taken as literally as it can be gives Local Authorities an immediate 'right of access' to your homeschool. Some LEA's will consider just being informed of what is going on sufficient, some LEA's will want full details of the curricula being taught and some may even send a School Inspector around to see that the material being taught is appropriate and sufficiently challenging/targeted to reach the required level. The simple fact is that there is no single right answer to how to behave, what to teach or how many hours a week should be taught. Remember that LEA's have legal departments and truancy is viewed very seriously with parents now being held accountable. The following is a suggested procedure which should steer you clear of trouble.
Don't forget you have the legal right to home educate, they have the legal right to ensure it is done properly. Get the LEA on your side - it makes life a lot easier. For an effective modern approach to education you cannot beat homeschooling. Home School
