We have been Home Educating for over 5 years, with a brief spell in school just recently for the younger two. The eldest is now an apprentice mechanic, attending college every few weeks. Home Education can be hard work and very challenging but is also fun and exciting.It has been a learning experience for us all. We remain autonomously educating and so each of the boys are developing their own interests and skills; with us providing as much assistance as we can or that they need. They are all learning life skills by experiencing life in all its guises. Through good times and bad. They learn team spirit and independence. They learn what they like and dislike, what they are good at and what makes them tick. This, we hope, will prepare them for life in our ever changing and demanding world. This is not a representation of ALL Home Educating families, but a brief glimpse at ours.
