Read with interest all the various viewpoints about HE. I have 4 children, all autonomously home educated, happy and thriving. I know HE is not for everyone, but if you have any doubts atall about sending your child to school or are having problems at their existing schools, HE is well worth investigating. It is not as daunting as you might first think - it can actually be highly enjoyable!! I have recently read two excellent books which I am sure would help those who would like to know a little more about HE and how it actually works in everyday life.
The books are 'One-to-One' (aimed at children ages 0 - 11) and 'Unqualified Education' (for ages 11 - 18) and are written by Gareth Lewis. More info can be found on the following website: www.freedom-in-education.co.uk
Hope the above might be of help. I would also recommend Education Otherwise as a good source of support and information. Would be interested to hear from other HE'ers to swap ideas / groans / adult conversation. (Not that there are any groans of course!!)
