The number of families taking up a ‘DIY’ approach to their children’s education is growing. Home-based education is becoming more popular both in the UK and across the world, and in this article Roland Meighan discusses many of the reasons why this may be so. He outlines research findings and presents insights gained from extensive personal experience of the field, concluding that there are clear advantages to home schooling, as long as parents don’t restrict the kind of curriculum they provide. For Meighan, it remains hard for any school, as currently organised, to match an alert, organised and energetic family. He goes on to suggest some ideas for reform of the school system that should interest and stimulate debate among teachers at all phases. |
