I've been homeschooling for 1 year now and I have nothing but trouble from people especially now I have another baby on the way the midwife on my sons 2 year check up started to be nosey with my 5 year old and tried to tell me its bad I'm home educating and forced a meeting with some groups and tried to tell me my daughter cabt be home also tried to force me having strangers take care of my kids I said no I don't need anything from you and to no longer contact me even have the inlaws commenting but both my children are very happy especially my 5 year old she was miserable and mistreated and abused at 2 different nursery now she's at home thriving learning alongside her brother and we are so happy they have no rights to your life yet always try to use scare tactics it's crazy

@abdirizaknur7503 my child has an ehcp and the school still don't help. I've told the LA multiple times school aren't helping - the local authority contact the school, the school lie and say they are helping, the LA believe them and it's just a never ending cycle. Never again will I place my child into the school system

Thank you for this video, it’s very helpful! My daughter sadly is on the brink of permanent exclusion from school already, 5 months into year 7, and home schooling is something I am seriously considering, to avoid that awful situation of EOTAS (our local facility is horrendous). I feel quite inspired, so thank you!

@nooonooo9876 8 ай бұрын

I have this issue too. My daughter was a perfect pupil but as soon as she went into year 7 she started acting up and they're threatening to exclude her. I scolded her first few weeks but then I thought she was perfectly fine before coming here so is she really the problem? So now I'm taking her out of school and giving home schooling a try 🤞

I’m a student and I’ve literally been trying so hard to be online schooled main reason is that public schooling isn’t for me and I’ve gained depression from it and I physically cannot get out of bed and then get the motivation to walk all the way to school just to sit in a classroom not understanding anything for 1 hour and then walking back home . So in march I had a meeting with one of my school safeguarding teachers and I told them that i wanted to be online schooled so can you give me any advice?.. and then they went at me saying “why do you want to be online schooled? Your parents will get a fine and they will be teaching you.” And I went quiet and cried and now I realised they basically lied to my face because my cousin who’s exactly like me does online classes. But oh well I’m gonna try again and follow your advice because the safe guarding teachers at my school are literally liars and don’t help at all

Thank you for this. I sat and spoke to my sons headmaster and he refused and said I wasn't aloud to take my child out of school to homeschool said it wasn't in his (my sons) interest to homeschool. I have just come across your youtube page but was wondering is there any special things I need for my son?? He has no special needs or anything as a barrier to learning. Hope you can reply to this comment. Thanks again ❤

@thomass3036 14 күн бұрын

Well unless English is not your first language, I would be inclined to agree. People who teach, ideally know the difference between allowed, as in permitted and aloud as in: 'Did I really say that aloud' and know how to use a possessive apostrophe, as in son's headmaster. I would suggest that you find online resources if your English is not up to it. I flexischooled my son until the end of primary, as I am aware of my deficits. He has autismand is now studying at uni.

Thats right! You don't need to inform the LA about your intention to home edcuate if you have chosen to just not apply to a school, or even if you are deregistering. Often the LA becomes aware you are home educating by other means but it's not your responsibility to tell them at all.

I have now stopped all correspondence with them because they just ask for the same information over and over and send the same threatening letters over and over again. I have had one every day this week, 5 so far, so sent an email stopping all correspondence with them. They really are a bunch of incompetent morons. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi, would like some advice. My niece has seen some footage which suggests she could be homeschooled and is now refusing to go to secondary school. Her parents do not have the money to home-school her with costs per week of upwards of £350. Plus as she is quite shy, the impact of a loss of interaction could have long-term implications on her ability to interact with other members of the general public/friends/colleagues etc. Exercise and other social benefits may also be cast aside. What do you suggest in this situation? Academically she is in the top 5% of her school so the next steps will be very important to her attending university or achieving her goals.

I don´t understand the structure or why this is call educating. So the kids are not given any math's, language, science etc...? How would they access any university degree if they are at home baking, reading comics or painting? I understand people would prefer to educate their children at home, I am not here to judge, but it appears we are confusing culture and socializing with educating (learning science and building careers). Is Homeschooling a response to any ideal? Is it because people does not trust subjects like Physics or Chemistry or something? I don´t think teachers go through extensive training, courses etc.. to be replaced at home. But happy to be wrong if there are any videos explaining what an 18 year old adult opportunities would look like after homeschooling, please feel free to elaborate.

@thomass3036 14 күн бұрын

Homeschooling or flexischooling is fine at primary level. At secondary level it is way more complex and difficult to replicate lessons due to the level of equipment you would need. I flexischooled my son as he has autism. No problem. He went on to be a speaker at an MIT conference aged 14 and he is now at university reading computer science. To homeschool, you need to be very committed.
