I’ve thought about sending mine to school a couple of times but there’s always the same few points that keep coming up. Could a school offer my children the same quality of social interaction with such a vast and diverse range of people as they are currently used to or would they be restricted to children in their year group and adults with singsong voices and boxes to tick? Would a teacher be able to teach them at the right level for them, taking into account their interests, ability and special needs or would they be restricted by the constraints of the National Curriculum? Would they have the freedom to study a subject in as much depth as they want for as long as they want or would their learning constantly be interrupted by bells and breaks? Would school really be the best place to prepare them for adult life in the real world or would they learn more about the real world and the adults in it if it was the base for their learning?
