Hiya,
I have no experience of homeschooling, but know a child who is being home schooled. However, after comments from his mother about his education, to be honest I was a little concerned. But what do I know? I'm aware that there is no one set way of doing home ed - that's the point of it to some degree. But would this be a normal/typical approach to home schooling?
Child is 9 yrs old. He doesn't have any "formal" lessons, worksheets, writing in books etc. He watches videos on Youtube and looks online at websites. He attends physical activities. His mother says that he learns things practically. He also goes to a childminder most days of the week as his mother works, where he is the only child of that age, the other children are pre-school age.
