Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Dear Anita, it is very easy to keep your child at home for home schooling. You won't get any help so it will not be any extra expense.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 They start school (oh God I won’t word this correctly) I think in the year or term when they are five. The academic year runs from September to July so if he is five in that after this September but before the next one then he will start this September. Some schools also have a January entry for the younger ones. Tom will be starting next Jan even though he is not a younger one. When’s Kolja’s birthday and I’ll tell you? Sorry they have said such a horrible thing to you. If you have the energy please stand up to them. When are you coming?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I have both my boys at home, reluctantly. The LEA are delighted, saving them a fortune. The point about permission to home ed if in special school is correct, but they can and do refuse the permission, in our case it's my belief the head wants that funding. Funding is graded so if your child is in a special school and they have a higher band of funding they can be difficult if you want to home ed or remove them from the school for any reason.

If you have the > energy please stand up to them. When are you coming? > Sara We will arrive in December 07. At that time Kolja will be 4 (born in 2003). He'll turn 5 in February. I was thinking I might send him to school IF there was a very good one (ha! you say ;-)) but I've already refused to send him here (even though I was told that his funding depended on it, they were outright lying, and when I pointed that out they changed their tune). So what grade would that put him in? Rest assured I will be standing up to this. First the gov't pushes the absolute safety and efficacy of injecting our kids with mercury and other dangerous things, and then, when our poor kids are damaged, they can't be bothered giving them the same rights???? If they refuse us, I shall forward the news articles to the list. DH isn't keen on rocking the boat, but my intention is to sink the whole fleet if necessary.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Anita, previous poster correct, if come September your child is five, then school is " required " , but there is no law that says you have to send your child to school. Yes, they may send a school officer out to you to see that you are up to snuff on the " curriculum " but there is no law stating your child has to go to school. I know you would not make this mistake, but if for some reason you were to send your child to a special school, and then want to homeeducate, you must send a letter to that special school head and tell them your child is opting out. they have to grant this. Its not a big deal but if a head teacher wanted to take humbrance against you, they might make it difficult. If you arrive and your child is not slated for any school, the education authority probably wont even know you HAVE a child, i know children who have escaped the scrutiny of the education officials. That's how much they care. I intend to home school. My boy is in a mainstream nursery and he is doing an extra year in nursery, he is the very same age as your boy, turns five in February next. I am keeping him there as they are pretty good with him, but real primary school, is going to be another thing, sitting at a desk, and taking directions, etc etc. Further if your new locality uses the new " enriched " curriculum, and your child is non verbal or seriously communication delayed, he may have real trouble. The " enriched " curriculum stresses communication, and uses a lot of circle time, etc, very touchy feely. My boy would flounder in this. Plenty of home edders in the UK who will give you loads of advice. Try out this website at " education otherwise " http://www.education- otherwise.org/, just about everthing you need to know and your rights as well. For my boy, there is no way the educators are going to get their hands on him. Nursery presently for him is just fun, but it wont be at the higher grades. Further, the kids like him. They get cruel though, as they get older. hope that helps > > > > > > Dear Anita, it is very easy to keep your child at home for home > > > schooling.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 We will arrive in December 07. At that time Kolja will be 4 (born in 2003). He'll turn 5 in February. HE’S TWO MONTHS YOUNGER THAN TOM. HE WOULD OFFICIALLY START SCHOOL IN SEP 07 OR JAN 08 DEPENDING ON THE SCHOOL. I WAS HOPING TO SEND TOM TO SCHOOL PART-TIME WITH HIS VB THERAPIST BUT NOW THE SCHOOL ARE GETTING NERVOUS. I was thinking I might send him to school IF there was a very good one (ha! you say ;-)) but I've already refused to send him here (even though I was told that his funding depended on it, they were outright lying, and when I pointed that out they changed their tune). So what grade would that put him in? HE WOULD ENTER A RECEPTION CLASS. RECEPTION CLASS IS PART OF THE FOUNDATION STAGE AND FOLLOWS ON FROM PRE-SHOOL. IT FOCUSES ON PLAY/ COMMUNICATION ETC BUT DEPENDING ON THE SCHOOL THEY MAY SPEND SUBSTANTIAL PERIODS OF TIME AWAY FROM THE DESK AND CHAIR TYPE TEACHING. THEY’RE NOT CALLED GRADES HERE. AFTER RECEPTION CLASS COMES YEAR ONE. YEAR SIX IS THE LAST YEAR AT PRIMARY SCHOOL. IN YEAR SIX THE CHILDREN ARE 10 OR 11 SECONDARY SCHOOL CONSISTS OF YEARS 7 – 11 CURRENTLY COMPULSORY (ABOUT TO BE EXTENDED). CHILDREN IN YEAR 11 ARE 15/16 THE SCHOOL MAY ALSO HAVE YEARS 12 AND 13. Rest assured I will be standing up to this. First the gov't pushes the absolute safety and efficacy of injecting our kids with mercury and other dangerous things, and then, when our poor kids are damaged, they can't be bothered giving them the same rights???? If they refuse us, I shall forward the news articles to the list. DH isn't keen on rocking the boat, but my intention is to sink the whole fleet if necessary. YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS. TREATING PEOPLE WITH RESPECT CAN’T BE CONTENTIOUS LIKE VACCINES, CAN IT? IT SOUNDS NEWSWORTHY TOO. ALL THE BEST, HOPE TO SEE YOU HERE.
