OK, I'm not attempting to stir up trouble or negatively criticising anyone's decision to home educate. I'm genuinely curious. My SIL is home educating one of her four children. I'm not sure of the reasons why and don't want to ask too many questions as she's the ultra-defensive type.
So, I was wondering how home educators can cater for the following, which are available in 'regular' schools.
How do you teach all of the subjects? I mean, everyone has their strong points, so how do you deal with your weaker subjects? I'd be grand at Music, but atrocious in Physics, for example!
How do you teach exercises which involve working as a group, such as building things in design classes or team sports?
How do you afford to buy all of the equipment you need? I wouldn't know where to start with Chemistry equipment, for example. Do you have Bunsen burners and petri (sp?) dishes at home? What about sports equipment?
I'm not trying to pick holes, I'm really interested.
