- Primary and secondary schooling is combined, so the pupils don't have to change schools at age 13.
I would like to pick up on this point.
I believe this has been the success story of my children's education. It came about more through luck than anything else. We live in a small rural town and as such the schools here tend to be central schools, that is K-12, approximately 400 students. Very small turn over rate of teachers, I guess this could be good or bad, but it does help that as your child progresses all the teachers know them, know what to expect and what they are capable of.
The guy writes about self-learning (a lot about free-schooling but also that kids need much less intrusion than more).
Thank you for posting this. Although my son does attend school, outside of school he has always self directed his learning. I have questioned myself as to whether this is the right thing but always let it go as he is happy and contented doing it this way, I virtually have no input unless he comes and asks me. Maybe I was on the right track all along and didn't know it.
