The
more financial resources we can call upon as parents, the more choice we have
over the education of our children. Children can be sent to independent day or boarding schools
and/or to schools that offer a specialised curriculum based on particular
curriculum strength. Another option is
a religious school, which offers a secular curriculum along with a religious
one to tie in with the particular religion of choice. We can also choose to
send them to one of the many brilliant state schools, paid for through the
taxes that we as parents pay. (So, not free)
Another option, which is less common, and less well known, is that of
home schooling. This option is being
increasingly taken up in places like the U.S.A. and has always been made use of
in more isolated communities, and amongst child celebrities. My best friend is successfully home
schooling both her children, and has some brilliant perspectives, and a wealth
of experience of some of the issues. (Link Here) Other choices, include educating a child at
a school, which has a particular philosophy on education – such as Montessori
or Steiner Waldorf, another approach is that of Flexi-Schooling. Here are some web links that give more
information on the above options.
