Hi all.
DH and I are vaguely considering home edding our two girls and I am at the research stage really. For us it's all about freedom and flexibility e.g to be able to travel or go for days out without having to wait for the school hols! It feels a bit "naughty" as I have no compelling reason for dropping out of the school system, the girls seem to like school, are not SN, and not being bullied. It's just that we all really enjoy the school hols, the girls are very active and do loads, and are always healthy and happy by the end of them - it seems a shame to send them back to spend their days sitting in a classroom doing what seems to be fairly boring work.
However one thing I am wondering about is how much it costs. I realise it is a case of how long is a piece of string and that you can be as structured or unstructured as you like in terms of curriculum, tutors, etc. But I am thinking of the cost of paying for things like drama, music lessons, singing maybe, things that we get through school now and are subsidised. Would any of you mind sharing roughly what you tend to spend?
I would also have to give up my job as we have no family support nearby but as a poorly paid preschool teacher that would be no great loss, to be honest.
Really appreciate any input.
