Sorry, I'm sure it's very tiresome to all the experienced home schooling Mums and Dads to see questions like this but I am going round in circles looking on the internet at national curriculum, SAT levels, etc. So, I have two children currently in Y3 & Y4 in a private prep school but I want to take them out at the end of this term (so end of March) to home school them as I'm seriously unhappy with the education they are receiving. I seem to do so much with them after school and at weekends, often teaching entire chunks that the school has sent as homework but not covered in class. If I'm going to teach them I'd rather do it between 9-3 rather than from 4-6 and weekends and not pay £7k a term for the privilege! But, I have no clue where to start. I could format a timetable, I have a few contacts for tutors, for 1:1 art and 1:1 music with friends that will trade skills for skills not money (yay!) but how do you find the information to know what to teach. EG. Year 3 maths. I know they've started fractions but what's next? Sorry for the long post. I'm really down about what to do and where to start. I don't want to screw them up by teaching them the wrong stuff so when they go to senior school they are helpless. (I wouldn't want to HS at secondary, I don't have the skills). Thanks so much.
