Ok so I have reached the stage where I am seriously thinking about going the HE route. There is little chance of getting my children into the local school, the journeys are too much financially and timewise for the children, and I'm losing faith in the school they are in now anyway.
My main question is how you cater to different ages in the same room when you are going for the more structured type of education?
I know a lot go the free flow route with no fixed lessons but I think I will do better with a familiar school type structure and so will the children. I am envisioning turning my dining room into a mini classroom - yes I'm uptight like that ;) but am thinking I can't sort of 'teach', as it were, a lesson with the same subject matter as each child is on a different level so do I not try and teach together or give them workbooks/sheets or something to do and help as needed?
Any tips are welcome :)
