I am in england and we can home school our children here, all my children have attended school, but my daughter who is now 15, refuses to go to school, and after realising no matter what any one does wont make a difference to this, so i started to home school her, u don't have to follow the school curriculum, just as long as u r teaching them something. So for her am brushing up on her English n maths, she is already computer efficient so adding to that by teaching her things like web site deign power point etc.she wants to do child care when older, so doing child psychology, a 1st aid course, anatomy and physiology, an addiction course, brushing up on her cooking skills and aerobics with her too. She is enjoying this a lot more, and learning a lot more than if she went to regular school..and i am learning new things too Caz
