I'm going to post and run as I have lots to do today so apologies if I don't reply straight away, but I wanted to get some answers while I think about this. DH and I have toyed with the idea of home eding. I know there are lots of resources on the topic but I just wanted answers to some basic questions:
- How do you afford to home ed?
- Once you start can you go back? I.e. if you decide to home ed then realise it's not working out/can't afford it etc. can you put your child into the school system? If you were to do it just for a period of their education what is the best period?
- What are the possible limiting factors (e.g. money, location, parents personality, child's personality)
- Are there any detrimental effects for children when they grow up and get jobs that require a bit more structure/institutionalisation if they are not used to it?
DD is only 7 months so it's not a pressing matter, but like I say we are toying with the idea.
Sorry to post and run but I will check back in later
