Home Schooling - Discuss

Tweet

I know someone who insists on home schooling her kids. She only has a metric herself and is adamant that her kids are getting a better education than if they were taught by teachers who are educated in pedagogy, psychology of education etc. She's also not too concerned about them being accepted into tertiary education because she's given them a good Christian education..... and (in her view) that is more important than vocational/professional education. Besides the restricted social and sporting interaction these kids get,these kids are not exposed to different cultures, beliefs etc. My beliefs - kids should be exposed to different backgrounds, cultures, team sports, bullies, religions etc and then have the freedom to choose their life path without the restriction of schooling imposed on them by their parents.
