What is Home Education? How does it work? |
|
| Home education is when parents decide to educate their
children from home rather than sending them to school. Much of the
education can take place through conversation just as it did in the
first few years of life. This education is certainly not limited to
the home and is sometimes called home based education as the home
is merely a spring board into the community and many different learning
environments. In this environment children can have their questions answered as they arise and the adult can immediately notice what things interest the child. They mostly receive much more attention from a larger number of adults which usually increases their communication skills above those of their peers in school. Parents are free to choose the type of education their children should receive and approaches to education are very various. You will find a summary of approaches in the leaflets below: |
