We choose a little village school for Jo (less than 40 pupils) and she has loved it. They have forest school and an outside class room and as we live in Wales they learn through play up until the age of 7. The school has been great at allowing half days and 'too tired' days. A flexible part time approach has been very important. I so remember the days leading up to school and the weeks after. It was hard. You will grieve a lot over the coming month - be gentle with yourself xxxCraftyClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636333028261535583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3427361952832170887.post-29504747474148298242011-06-09T07:03:37.041-07:002011-06-09T07:03:37.041-07:00One of the best biggest (and hardest) parenting le...One of the best biggest (and hardest) parenting lessons I have learnt is to do with education. Cal who is almost 16 has chosen to go to mainstream school - his choice - rather than home or Steiner. I think for him he has made the right choice and we have revisited it often to check it's still the right decision. For me and my husband it's been a nightmare but we have always put him at the centre of his learning. Only one GCSE left tomorrow and then onto A Levels and he's staying at school rather than going to college - what a strange child I have!!!Dalesgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13882336731021173979noreply@blogger.com
