I have toyed with the idea of HE for my DS2 for over a year now. He is currently at a small private school. I also have an 11 year old DD, a 9 year old DS and DD2 is 2. The older 2 are very happy at school, so I shall not be HE them.
The 7 year old has never liked school. He is very shy in public but can be a monster at home. This worries me as I dont know if he will co-operate. I have discussed it with him and he is keen on HE.
My main concern is will I be able to teach him enough to be able to sit his exams when he needs to. I really am keen on the idea but a bit scared in case we fail to provide an education he would get from the prep sch he is at. I thought i could buy lots of books with maths excerises etc, then take trips to places which will lead onto topics we can discuss.
In 1 way i am excited in another very unsure what to do. Then I think do I leave him and just wait until DD2 is school age and start HE with her? Its so confusing!!!! Any advise, trip ideas, work book ideas etc would be greatly appreciated
