Homeschooling in the UK

This is a good article about homeschooling -- in this case, in small-town United Kingdom. It sounds like the British government is much more mellow about the issue in terms of mandatory elements and regulations about schooling. The article appears to be saying that there basically are none.

ic Teesside - Home study

Excerpt:

It may sound impossible and scary, but anyone can educate their children at home.

There is no law that says that you must send your children to school. Neither do you have to follow the National Curriculum. You don't have to follow a curriculum at all for that matter.

You can put your children into school and then take them out again. You can even put them in during mornings only or on a three-day-a-week basis, should your chosen school agree to a mix and match arrangement.

According to a recent study at Durham University, home educated children fare much better than the average school child in academic terms, and generally socialise well.

Which will surprise many parents who believe making friends in the playground is a big part of childhood interaction.
