I did a lot of stressing and research before taking the Homeschooling leap.
I purchased and downloaded lots of different curriculums I’d seen shared in community and individual posts mainly on Instagram and FB.
They were hit and miss as one was for English another for math and science.
Then a mum told me about Euka - they offer the Australian curriculum done from home.
Your student can do their work on the computer or on paper, or a combo of both.
It seemed like a lot of work to tackle as a family but now we pump out the entire thing in about 2 hours but my man is efficient so they do 1-3 hours 4 or 5 days a week and they are pumping through it. My son is currently about a term ahead of his friends who are attending a school, doing the same work.
The biggest PRO for homeschooling , apart from the quality time you get from being together plus all the time you can save driving to and from school and not having to rush in the mornings, is definitely the flexibility that he can do it from anywhere. Amazing feeling!
We can travel and go wherever we want and he doesn’t’ ‘fall behind.’ We want to make sure our kid can go back to school with his mates at anytime, in case he decides he wants that.
CONS:
We had to find work that allows us to be at home with him. Luckily we no longer need to work full time or that would have been a challenge as we have to juggle the hours of homeschooling plus jobs as needed.
If you’re pulled to homeschooling I encourage you to take the leap because school will be there for you to go back too. It Cld be the best thing for your kid.
My son felt stupid and slow and bored before we pulled him out. Now he feels free.
Happy to answer any question’s you have.
