St Aiden's HomeSchooling Fun in South Africa
Home Schooling - Why we homeschool, and a little bit of de-schooling...
The question that is fast becoming my favorite is "Why do you Homeschool?" The people I really like to share our reasoning with are the ones that truly want to understand why someone would make this decision. But others will look at us like we have grown a third head and have gone completely crazy. And still folk don't realize that home schooling has been around lot longer than the public school system.
The Public Education System In South Africa is faced with many challenges, not least the rising costs of education, lack of safety and security for our children, general apathy amongst educators, making education out of the reach of a lot of parents.
Since the inception of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa homeschooling finally became legal, we now have around 10000 homeschooling families countrywide. Since this is a relatively new concept in our country with a lot of hype and general misinformation there aren't too many reliable local (SA) resources available, arriving at this decision after spending hundreds of hours examinining and absorbing the brilliant resources offered by a multitude of exceptional non-SA websites. What I aim to do with this site is share information, ideas, curricula, work plans, lessons, books and units which I have obtained or created.
Here you will find links to my favourite sites which no homeschool educator should know about... Aaaah it works for school teachers as well... I would welcome input, ideas, suggestions, constructive criticism as we work together to build a site that can benefit the people of our land... Education should be accessible to all and you know how the saying goes, if Mahommed won't go to the mountain.... Have a fantastic time teaching your children, remember life is not a dress rehearsal...
Have a wonderful & blessed day
