We've moved back to the UK from the US over the summer, and despite applying for schools have not been offered a place at all for our Y9 son. We are appealing next week but it will potentially be weeks before he has a school place.
Whilst I admire many home educators immensely, I have always known it was not for me. I am not very patient with my children and would rather be at work myself. So now I find myself at home with a bored and homesick (for the US) 13 year old.
Really I'm just after a bit of guidance and reassurance. I'm trying to walk a line between him doing some studying but also having some fun. At the moment he's working through some KS3 work books interspersed with trips out for example for a bike ride today, he did some volunteering at our local adventure playground last week and is going to work with a friend of mine who is an architectural conservator tomorrow.
What else should I be doing?
