Is it possible to home educate as a lone parent?

[TheChamomileLawn]

Just wondering really, ds is only two. I have got a part-time evening job, but is it realistic to consider he, or do you really need two parents at home?

well presumably you've got childcare in the evenings so I don't see why not?

Well that's what I thought, but is there something obvious that I haven't thought of perhaps? Thanks for replying btw.

definately to home educate very successfully as a single parent.
There are some regular posters here who do just that.

There is even a 'Single Parents HE email support list' that would be useful for you to join, I can't find the link right now, but will come back with it for you, if somebody doesn't beat me to it!

HE doesn't have to take place between school hours/term time, so it doesn't matter if you work all day and educate in the evenings/weekends.

And I'd say the majority of us do this on a very limited budget, so really it is possible.

Here's one: groups.yahoo.com/group/eo-singleparent/ . I don't think you have to be a member of EO to join the list.

I'm not sure that is the most popular list. I thought there was one that wasn't connected to EO and it was called Lone Parents somethingorother. There seems to be a reasonable amount of activity on the EO single parents list though.

Thanks julienoshoes and Saracen that's really helpful.

Absolutely. So many HE as lone parents very successfully. As long as you have time to be there for them - working from home or having childcare for a short period of time whilst you work - it can certainly work as a lone parent.

Hi, am new here, but a definate yes :)
