Our school only goes up to 7th grade. And I have been thinking a lot about what comes next. I have always said that when Aiden is 10 we will do a tour of all the schools in the area and let him choose (after explaining all the consequences with each type etc).
So now I had an idea and I'd love to hear if you think it would work/be feasible:
What about a homeschooling collaboration? So if I homeschool my kids and a few other parents of "smart" kids homeschool too but we all get together each day to school them together (different ages, different LOGs) - using our combined abilities, areas of interest and resources to help the kids learn what interests them in a topical format as deep as they want to go, using the main subjects to cover the theme (maths, science, biology, geography, history, language, literature etc). Then we could assist them to go where they need to learn what they want and when they are ready we could help them do any of the three available school leaving exam sets that they want to. We could also extend into distance university courses quite easily like this.
It would fill the learning, the friends need, the learning to work together etc etc.
Could it work? Or am I being too naive about it all? Would other parents put in the same effort as I would?
thoughts? opinions? ideas?
