Sadly due to a family breakdown it was longer possible to do it alone. I thank the gods that we discovered Melbourne Community School in St Kilda which is a parent run school for a maximum of 20 kids of all ages that educates like a home school but with the support other parents and a few teachers. It is our lifeline. And my daughter and I still get to have considerable input into what she learns and how she learns it and she now has a lovely group of mixed aged friends she calls her family. Thank you MCS. I too started homeschooling after it was evident my daughter was not going to make it in a mainstream setting. Sadly due to a family breakdown it was longer possible to do it alone.

I have brought her up to respect others and is a very well mannered little girl, hates to break the rules and mothers all the other children but I have been thinking lately was it right to teach her these old fashioned up bringings in this cruel modern world?? She is so depressed at school (the second I have enrolled her in) that I am just now researching home education.. there are so many different ways to go about it and I worry I cant give her the education she needs as I'm not a bright spark and left school early :( what way did you go?
