Hi
I've dropped in and out of this board in the last year and have learned a lot.
DD is 11 and just starting her third year of home-ed. We are just weighing up how informal/structured we want to be over the next few years but we presume at some point formal qualifications will be needed to get DD where she wants to be. While I understand roughly how these can be achieved
I would really love to hear about the paths other home-educating families have taken and how their DCs have reached university or paid employment.
Were you quite structured or more autonomous? Do you feel that being home-ed is not really an obstacle to higher learning? What were the tricky bits?
Is it easy to start a GCSE course without following the national curriculum at key stage 3? Has any one missed out formal qualifications and gone straight to uni?
Really any experiences and advice from those at the other end of the journey or going through it now would be fantastic.
Thanks
