    Are you a Primary School teacher?
    If the answer is no why even think about Home Schooling. Do Distance Education they have all the materials to match your childs. I know a family that did it while travelling around the world and there girl came back in front of her peers.
    Teaching your child won't be a piece of cake but why create extra work for yourself by trying to figure out all the maths and english and other stuff you need to teach.

    I think our Bron is capable of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING

    Friends of mine do home schooling through Distancd Education Vic. They had tried home schooling by themselves which didn't work out, then sent the kids back to school where they didn't cope (don't know the reasons) before trying DE. They say it's fantastic and their kids are ahead of where they should be. The kids also have to be involved in so many hours of extra curricular activity with other kids according to some ruling with Distance Ed or home schooling, can't remember which one, so they meet up with other home schooled families in the area and do 1 afternoon activity each (swimming lessons I think).

    I studied some subjects through Distance Education in high school because my school didn't offer the subjects I wanted to do. I found it was good, the teachers were very approachable and helpful.

    My cousin used distance ed for a year with 2 of her kids and found it really great, they sent everything she needed and followed up.
    I actually agree with Pink peg, if you weren't trained to do something why not use the expertise of someone who is?
