Education Freedom
Education
Welcome. I'm a long term home educator who is looking to support those on the journey towards freeing themselves from the schooling system, and creating a unique educational experience for their family.

I'm currently in my 18th year home educating and my specialties are Child led and Steiner based education, and I am strong believer in the idea that there are many ways to educate our children, and that parents need to work out their own unique pathway,for their family.

Some thoughts on legal issues

I cannot state this emphatically enough, know your rights.

Legal rights for home educators vary significantly around the world, and as we've seen the last few years in particular, bureaucrats like to step over the boundaries.

I feel like in a way that my first moderator, in Adelaide, made it very plain to me that she wasn't there to support me, but to assess me, and that whilst she did offer some tips, it was likely my future moderators would not. I came to regard our annual visit as an annual job interview.

In Adelaide, we had to be enrolled in a school, and apply for an exemption to attend school. It was a pleasant surprise, when we moved to Perth, to discover that we just applied to homeschool here. On the whole I have found the moderators more supportive and inclined to give suggestions here- so far I have had two over 12 years, and I will meet a new one this year. In Adelaide we had a new one every year- about five all up.

It's important to have an understanding of what your rights and responsibilites are wherever you live.
