home education

Home educated people are children who are educated otherwise than at school. This could be by their parents following/not following the curriculum or online schools (yes, they existed before Covid-19). However, some online schooled students don’t like being called home educated.

Some peoples’ reasons for being home educated are:

- Religious beliefs
- Mental/Physical health
- Pursuing other commitments such as acting or sports
- Other, such as a need for a decelerated/accelerated education due to a number of reasons.

The list goes on.

There are many other social opportunities for children that aren’t school. Please don’t assume we are social recluses.

I was home educated until I was 7, then returned to home education when I was 13.
