Not school or homeschool, but modular learning
The article is of interest to me, although it is a bit light on details.<p>I&#x27;m increasingly finding myself considering some form of alternate schooling for my children.<p>The public schools in my area are sub-par. Quality public schools exist, but are zoned and therefore my children are not permitted unless we move (expensive and non-desirable).<p>Private schools are absurdly expensive, we&#x27;ve decent public metrics in Australia and they&#x27;re frequently no better than a decent public school. Worse, they&#x27;re essentially universally dead set on trying to indoctrinate children into one cult or another.<p>My wife is a primary school teacher. She&#x27;s incredibly hands on and is renowned for her ability to form relationships, and take a special interest in her students&#x27; wellbeing. She&#x27;s demonstrated her ability to function independently, by taking existing resources and expanding them; having recently launched a small well-being book + play subscription for young children (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mybookbag.com.au&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mybookbag.com.au&#x2F;</a>).<p>I&#x27;m quite interested in teaching, hands-on learning and mentoring myself. I&#x27;ve worked from home for the last 7 years and will continue to do so.<p>I&#x27;ve a 3 year old daughter with Type 1 Diabetes, and I don&#x27;t much trust her care to others, at least while she&#x27;s too young to take a more active role in her own care.<p>I&#x27;m aware my situation is perhaps uniquely ideal for some form of &quot;home schooling&quot;, and yet I&#x27;m still extremely hesitant to take the idea seriously. Socialisation is of course a concern, but I think it&#x27;s more the stigma and also lack of data&#x2F;oversight.<p>Is there anyone here with much experience in alternate education structures that has any insight to share?
