home education for teenagers

[tarah47]

Hi everyone. I am new to mumsnet, and have arrived here out of frustration and loneliness. My husband and I home educate our 13-year-old son and have been doing so for the past 9 months. I would like to meet other home educating parents online to share ideas etc. I have joined the local home educating network in my town, but haven't made any friends. In fact these people - in the flesh - are snooty and unwelcoming. My son goes to a group every week where these home educated kids get together and says he is treated as though he is invisible. I told him not to worry as none of the parents talk to me and his dad either, despite our attempts to be friendly.

I would love to meet other home educating parents in other parts of the country or world - online - to chat etc.

I have three kids - two are now grown up - and my 13-year-old.

I'm a really vibrant, friendly person with loads to share.

Thank you.

Hello again. Is it a dedicated section on the site? I can't see it. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Under the education section click on more.. and it should come up.
