Can you home ED if you both work?

[JohnMcCainsDeathStare]

Something I am thinking as a back-up option, particularly with my DS1 who has ASD and anxiety. I hope that the local schools will suffice for secondary and he has got SEN support but is home Ed possible between two part-time working parents at secondary level?
There are subjects we can teach but we would definately want to join a Home Ed group as well if this is the case.
So is this possible?

Most definitely, if you are able to work from home and can cover with childcare when you are out at work.
You don't teach like they do at school, and they certainly don't need to learn at a particular time, like they do at school. Start at 6pm until 8pm if you want.

If you look at ensuring a minimum math english science at gcse. You can do iGCSE with many providers offering the exams, course materials and support from remote tutors. I priced it up for the 3 subjects doing the key stages in high school from yr 7 right up to gcse at just over £3000.
You need to commit about 2hrs a day for ever school week to comfortably teach however of course you can take increase or reduce as needed. Definitly do-able.
Then you can add your own lessons as you see fit.
Personally life skills, finances, sport etc i think can be far more useful than some other gcses.

We do. 2x full time careers, home ed one child (age 10, severe school phobia, possible HFA) and another disabled child in special school.

It's certainly possible, BUT:

• you have to be very creative about how you use your time and how you think about time - 'set 9-5 working/school week' and 'weekends' would put a lot of pressure on and probably make it impossible

• it's easier if one or both of you work for yourselves - you will benefit from flexibility to attend HE group trips or sports activities occasionally and these are often during weekdays

• your child will need to be a self-starter and good at self-directed learning to really thrive with this set up

• your social life and domestic chores will probably fall by the wayside. If it's important to you to have a busy social schedule and a tidy, clean organised home with home cooked meals all the time, then you will struggle

Even with all those caveats, if you can make it work, and it relieves stress in the household rather than creating more, then your child will benefit.

Online homeschooling programs might come in handy if you cannot teach your children yourself. Such as pasxcel.com/igcse-homeschooling-online/
