Comment on My family’s unlikely homeschooling journey

Comments

Outside of the Anglosphere homeschooling is not really a thing [1]. Coming from Europe I've personally never meet anyone.

I've come to learn that homeschooling is illegal in some European countries. That may be a big reason why.

E.g. Germany

It is possible in Austria though. We’ve met a group of people who’ve kept at it post-COVID enforced periods of lockdown homeschooling, because it worked so well for their children. The parents take turns supervising the group and I think they also employ a part-time private teacher for oversight.

It's a thing in the UK - relatively rare, though still amounting to something like 100,000 kids across the whole UK.
