My role as a home educator is to make what I'm teaching interesting, so that learning will occur. Teaching a child who is not interested is like throwing marshmallows at a child's head and calling it 'eating'.<br /><br />'The hope is that pupils will become; independent enquirers, creative thinkers, reflective learners and self managers. Hands up everybody who thinks that sitting through the National Curriculum in a maintained school is the best way to become those things?'<br /><br />That's so funny. Home ed is what gave my kids the TIME to become all those things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
