Is anyone home schooled in the UK? Can you tell me what it is like?

Question

Can you tell me what it is like please?

Is it realy hard to concentrate on getting your work done?

Answer 1

There are a growing number of home schooled children in the UK, those that I know were not good adverts though.

The parent who did the teaching was not very bright, the 8 year old girl can barely read.

In many cases I think it borders on child abuse! it is also turning into a cult thing.

If they sit recognised syllabuses and exams and get good results they are the minority.
