a quick post and run because I have to get her from school and go straight to riding lesson but will check back later for any replies
she is so lost and unhappy at her new school (started in Sept) and as here (Suffolk) are dismantling the 3 tier system it looks as though years 5 - 8 will be tricky anyway - what are the chances of home ed helping to boost her self-esteem and confidence, with a possible view to going to high school in yr 9? she loved her little village primary school but middle school is destroying her confidence and I can't just sit and watch
it seems a bit back to front to remove her from school based on social problems, as if I should be pushing her through it rather than taking her away but my gut feeling tells me this is the right thing for her. I have so many questions though, how to get started, what are the pitfalls, would it fit around work ok (I am pretty sure it would, am a lone parent but her 16 and 18yo sisters are very enthusiastic about the idea so I won't be totally alone)
I'm guessing we don't have to spend all our time at the kitchen table? I have an outdoorsy sort of life and she will have to come and help with the dogs and horses and fit other work around it - hope someone can tell me it is possible?
