We are moving home after a year in the US, to DH's birth country (where we have lived for about fifteen years before this year). Have been notified by the school that the places they can take aren't available for October, it will be six whole months until they can access their places. We don't have a legal led to stand on and the school have given good reasons for why it has changed but I'm still furious! DD1 will be going to another school (due to age) so is going to school when we move, thankfully.
We have got a definitive place for March 2014 (feels so long away!) so six months or so of no education in school from the date planned. DC involved are 10, 8 and 6.
So...tips on temp homeschool? Joint business so can take time out to do it with two hours extra for work. DH will shoulder more work. We hope it will work as in the business (in tourism) it's fairly even and more prep than physical. Eek.
So... what I basically need is ideas...what equipment do you have? When do your DC wake up/start school/stop school or is it less structured? I want them to enjoy school- they were so excited about seeing old friends of theirs so this is sad for them. We are in a perfect place for trips and I have some project ideas but I think I'm imagining a fun perfect world not actual hard work, which it will be!
