I'm MOM homeschooling my son, 10 year old, Lewi, who has never been to school.
In 2004, just before the Lewi was out of school, I had to take a decision (as all parents do) where he spent the next 12 plus years. After much research and discussion, we decided, that he may stay right where it was-in the home.
This was not easy decision in any way. As a former teacher in the system of education and had a lot to consider. Questions and concerns have come thick and fast, yet your friends and family. Science at home is legal? Of socialisation? (The age Old question everyone seems to ask). Friendship? How can you possibly you teach him to learn all there is?
Each of these questions are extremely important questions raised by me in those early days. Required are surely the response. Yes, however.
Homeschooling is legal?
Yes! Children rights, must be registered in high school or as homeschoolers. The registration process for homeschoolers is relatively painless. Details of the registration of the child for homeschooling can be found on the Internet or in the phone book.
Socialisation
What is socialisation? 6 hours per day, 5 days per week in class surrounded by lots of children with similar age all spend doing similar things? Well, it can be, for sure. But it must be.
Simply explained, socialisation is about our children learn social beings in the real world. With this in mind then: talking to the cashier in stores, opening the door for older people, cafe ordering a meal, organising the date of the game with friends both in and from the school and all ages, learning interactions and problem solve in a family, playing in the garden with its neighbours, and interviews with family and friends, spend time with other homeschoolers, and part of the local community are all ways to help children become social and cause socialisation took place. Need not be confined to the four walls of the classroom. (This is not anything wrong with that! For all other Seinfeld fans).
Friendship:
Bega Valley is a great, we have a wide choice of so far on the education of children. Together with the different schools in our County, we have also many families who choose to home school. There are several local groups, organised, who meet regularly in and around the area. It is certainly no shortage of opportunities for home-schooled children friendship. Our local groups continue to grow as more and more families choose to home school. We have lots of fun and have a szalasnictwie is a regular date activities scheduled for meet up times throughout the year. Most groups meet weekly and also to catch up, get together outside of the times group.
Also, other users, and the origin of the friends, Lewi has many close friends to the school that we can catch up on a regular basis also. Surely we are not a friend free!
Is it possible to learn everything?
Science at home is for children of all ages. There are as many approaches to science in the home are the philosophies of education. Some families choose to purchase the program ready to run. They can be purchased quite cheaply and have all the requirements of training for a child referred to them. Others prefer to create their own programmes on the basis of the philosophy of science ~ eg: Steiner Montessori classical science or Charlotte Mason or or many other can be Google or Bing. Some choose more eclectic approach, where you take with lots of different learning styles and then adjust it to meet the needs of their children.
All of these options are excellent and extremely important for Science in the home. We have chosen different l learning path, however. Therefore it is called "learning is natural, and therefore probably the most common choice for homeschoolers in Australia.
Physical science (or unschooling, as well as of) is the approach of learning recognition of the child as the Central experience of learning. It is based on the passions, strengths and interests of the child. Parent assist the process of learning, if they are responsible for providing a rich and interesting environment for the child that the child is then free. learn within those parameters.
Natural science sees the "Science" fully embedded into life. Science is not divided into sections featuring organised knowledge, but rather is immersed in the richness and fullness, which gives each normal date. Natural child's Curiousity, where is nurtured and encouraged interested users here are enthused about them and the environment and to science in this. Children born this your desire to learn.
Instead of breaking up the learning modules separated, natural school "goes with the flow". Paint baking, gardening, drawing, swinging, swimming, chatting, shopping, playing, dreaming, sharing, writing, measurements, building, independently of the other is the "life" are all parts of life natural learners. When children are encouraged and given the rich environment likely to their individual needs and interests, learning happens. All of them learn to read and write and mathematics, and all of those things that children schooled, but it is in their own time, at its own pace and always embedded in their interests and needs at the time. Natural science is about the children become very active in science and, therefore, they are generally extremely self-driven, self-motivated and ever inquiring people.
You may want to mention though, regardless of the lifelong learning approach to home schooled children in the age of the computer has opened our world in such a way as to other generation has witnessed before. Is really nothing that person self-motivated proxied interest not to access and learn through cyber space.
As a Mom of science at home, who also runs the internal finishing of advice from home and anyone who loves to write and blog (in my spare time) have to say, is a great choice. This is relaxed. Is busy. Each day is different from before. It is filled with lots and lots of social times in our group and origin, and with our friends and family. This is a great way of remaining connected to my child and really knowing who he is and his needs are at any given time. I strongly recommend it!
