Homeschooling

[Yiakoumaki]

Hello all, my 14 year daughter went to primary and secondary up to y9 but she has developed a lot of anxiety about going to school and she is in y10 so will be working for her GCSEs soon. She has already missed the first week and is anxious and worries to go to school thinking she cannot cope. She asked to be homeschooled but the obvious worries are that we do not know anything about it and that we are not an affluent family, therefore cannot afford. Do you know of any local to Tower Hamlets successful groups for homeschooling?
Many thanks

Hi
No experience of home schooling but my sister in law does and she uses a couple of Facebook groups locally to her.
She also recommends you join Parenting mental health group on Facebook

and not fine at school www.facebook.com/groups/NFISFamilySupport/?ref=share

Hope hat helps

I could understand it if she had covid fears and wanted to stay away from crowds.

But if she is worried about being able to cope with GCSEs, will she not have the same worries when doing them at home? With less support as you aren’t a teacher? So actually more worry about failure?

Does she think that home schooling means sitting around not doing much like some kids (perhaps she’s one of them) did in lockdown? So it’s an easy option and a cop out in her mind?

Think you need to get to the bottom of her though processes before making any changes?
