hi, I need some advice asap!!
so my daughter is 17 and half way through her first year of alevels (yr12) she was seriously ill and had to take 3 months of school, before this she enjoyed school very much! however after coming out of hospital and back to school she didn't feel the same, the staff at the school were not very sensitive of her situation and even threatened to kick her out because of her time in hospital! she battled through the rest of the year and in her end of year exams got DDD, considering the time off and the little help she had catching up she was pleased with these. after countless meetings (/arguments) with the school she is enrolled into yr13. she went in on the first day and came home crying because she hates it so much and wants to stay at home, she is still determined to go to university and she is sure that she can teach herself the course and get the grades for uni. she said to me that she doesn't feel comfortable in the school and the teachers are not helpful or understanding whatsoever. I am confident in her ability to self learn, and am not worried about the social aspect as she has many friends from her old school and she has a part time job.
I am completely new to homeschooling and need some advice:
how do I go about taking her out of school?
is she allowed to teach herself?
how do I book her alevel exams?
any recommendations for distance schools?
she is willing to pay for learning, how much all this cost?
can she do alevels in one year?
how much time would she need to put aside each week to sit 3 levels in one year?
she currently takes ocr biology, ocr geography and ocr history (Russia, Germany and anglosaxons) and would ideally like to stay with the same exam boards (although geo and history changing wouldnt be a massive deal?
thank you in advance for your help!!!
