No problem. I will copy and paste this ...Hi Jules,<br /><br />No problem. I will copy and paste this onto the comments on the other blog too.<br />I'm not Scottish and don't live in Scotland so can't comment specifically about that. Anne may want to comment about home ed in Scotland.<br />In London, the community probably isn't as strong. We do know people who disagree with our decision although not particularly, so far, from the local community. <br />We tend to do most work in conventional school type hours and although we are sometimes out and about, it is usually either for exercise, the library or educational events so may not be especially visible. <br />In terms of people thinking us strange, we try to be open about what we are doing and why. People who seriously oppose home education aren't, in my experience, interested in knowing the whys and wherefores and so we just have to go on our way, doing the best we can as unto God and not man.<br />The support and encouragement from other home educators is helpful. I am thankful that there are other Christian home educators in the area and other friends at the end of an e-mail or telephone.<br />I guess we all worry about the subjects where we aren't strong. I worried tremendously about art. God does answer prayer and we have found some great local classes in two different places, at present. <br />There are programmes for subjects, such as maths, that use on-line or DVD teaching which can be useful. For smaller children, there are so many number activities in everyday life that help young children get the idea that numbers are fun and useful.<br />HTH<br />SarahDeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-88798611544297266452010-12-07T21:54:16.452+00:002010-12-07T21:54:16.452+00:00Hi

I feel like it is impossible where i live, and i am not sure how i would cope with the subjects i dont feel i have any strength in (maths for example!). I was also wondering hwo you cope with the local community? Do they see it as strange that you homeschool?<br /><br />Thanks, and again, sorry for posting in the wrong place!<br /><br />JulesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-40895200098418229562010-12-03T08:51:34.705+00:002010-12-03T08:51:34.705+00:00I have really enjoyed "Feminine Appeal: Seven...I have really enjoyed "Feminine Appeal: Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother" by Caroline Mahaney. It's based on the Titus passage <br /><br />"the older women likewise that they be ... teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. <br /><br />I found it very challenging and encouraging.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160335196868762338noreply@blogger.com
