What are the benefits of Home Schooling? I am in Australia and they dont have it here unless its for a reason, illness, disability etc etc.
I would think that going to a school would be of more benefit to the child, to be educated by professional educaters, and for social skills.
I know just in general, in my own life that I wouldnt have time to do it properly, with all the other day to day things that go on.
Just asking for opinions, as I know nothing about it?
How can you keep a close eye on how they are doing, if they only have a yearly exam?
What happens if they fall behind, do you have to wait until the end of the year to find out?
As I said………I’m merely asking questions, its not a choice/ option in Aust.
Wow, the schools over here are absolutely nothing like the way you describe the ones in America!
