This is a book for anyone who has ever thought of home educating their children. The material is enduring and not time sensitive. In increasing numbers, parents are opting to take their children out of school; choosing to go it alone and home educate them. Currently nearly 7,000 (equivalent to 28 large primary schools) of our children are being educated at home with numbers increasing every year. Antoinette James has been successfully home educating her children for eight years; this is her story. Written in an easy-to-read and very accessible style, it will be of high-interest to a wide range of readers. It will appeal to those whose children are not happy in the current system, to parents wrestling with making 'the big decision', to new and even to seasoned home educators looking for support and advice. Home Educating in New Zealand offers encouragement and guidance on the 'official' needs, helpful hints and the benefit of Antoinette's eight years of experience all served-up in a down-to-earth way.
