Do any of your dc homeschool themselves?

[Mycatatetherat]

My dc are in primary school at the moment but I don't want them to attend high school. They are both very self motivated when learning things that interest them and can be focused and sensible when given a task. I'm wondering would it be too much to expect them to be able to basically school themselves? I'm a self employed single parent and couldn't possibly stop working (although I often work from home) so kind of had it in my head that I could set them tasks and pop in on them every so often. Am I being unrealistic? How much input do other homeschooling parents have?

I think it is reasonable to expect them to be able to get on with tasks without too much supervision, if they are motivated and get on well working together. However, unless you're thinking of using online schools or a lot of tutors, providing appropriate resources and coming up with things for them to do takes a lot of time. My mum worked part time while educating us, but working everything out was a job in itself. Also to pps claiming home Ed kids will have no qualifications or social skills, having not attended school until sixth form college, I'm at Oxford uni and my social skills are fine, allowing for some slight issues due to dyspraxia. However, I wasn't unschooled as such, by secondary age I was deciding which subjects I wanted to take for gcse etc and working accordingly, I had choices but I was expected (and wanted!) to obtain formal qualifications, although I know for some home edders, e.g. traumatised school refusers, gentle socialising and an unschooled approach can be healthiest

@jennymanara I did my gcses in batches, my high intensity degree course tutors really don't care
