Hello mumsnet mums! Its probably early times, but I am scratching my head about the subject of Education. I think is because my other mums friends are already registering their children (same age as mine) in the local schools.
I like the sound of some schools in my area, and would have no problem sending my little one to one of them... However I have a special situation to consider and is that we are planing to spend three months of the year in South America, as a family, so that our children can benefit from their extended family and culture. That would be for the whole of spring term (right after christmas).
My husband is English, and completely likes the idea as it will allow us to spend time as a family, and our children would grow to love their other half culture.
I am researching heavily, but nothing seem to be straightforward. If possible, I would like to have the option of flexi-schooling, whereas they receive school education whilst in England, and for the spring term (which is the one they will miss) we, the parents, can be responsible and home educate him, making sure he keeps up with the curriculum....
I wonder if any of the mumsnet mums have such an experience or can give further advice.... it will be great!
