Hi there - I am a homeschooling mum and I love it, I am currently teaching 4 of my kids ages 15 (special needs) 8, 7 and 5. My 4 year old is ready to start but I am holding him off until next term. There are many different ways to go about how you school your children and hundreds of different cirriculums. I like a bit of struture and routine so stick to what works best for me and my children. We school in the mornings, starting about 8am and work thru till lunchtime. We have 2 morning tea breaks. This half day is more than enough time to cover all their work. remember I am working 1 to 4 ratio where as teachers are working 1 to 30ish and classrooms have alsorts of interuptions.


My 5 and 7 year old are well ahead of themselves in reading and maths , whereas my 7 year old has dyslexia and is now catching up fast with her reading and excels at maths. My children do attend other activities with other homeschoolers when needed and do a variety of out of school things as well.

The big issue alot of people have with homeschooling in the social aspect but my kids are very socialable and well liked by other children and adults.

I don't think homeschooling is the only way to go but I do love it. I am happy to answer any questions.
