Hi. I've been talking to my 13 year old daughter and she would really like to be home schooled. I'm a secondary school geography teacher and she is attending an excellent independent secondary school but struggling to fit in. (I had no choice but to send her independent because the schools in my area are some of the worse in Wales). To make it worse we are struggling to pay the fees for the school so the idea is tempting. However as stated in a previous post, she is already a loner. Would home schooling suit her needs better or would she find it even harder to fit in with people her own age? She does well at school and the level of education she's receiving is excellent but I know I can do a good job of educating her at home and save a packet in the process. I also wouldn't mind giving up work because it is too time consuming being a full time teacher. Has anyone out there had a similar experience? This is probably one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make. Can anyone advise me please?
