True..."A lot of teachers are no good at teaching."<br /><br />True. This shouldn't serve as comfort to the parent, though.

But lots and lots of parents have children who spend as much time as permitted on computer games and get really good at them. But of course you are right in your caveat.<br /><br />And yes, you're right about the taking to the park. What I notice around the place is boys of about 10 years upwards with no parents. But you're right, maybe the parents drop them off or something. In many urban areas, I'm guessing children start skateboarding in their local streets and parks as soon as they are being allowed out alone.<br /><br />Completely agreeing that HE also requires scheduling. But at least, in autonomous HE, that scheduling reflects the interests, desires and consent of the child. That's the big difference.<br /><br />yeah - parent as rubbish person at explaining stuff - kid would probably ask to go to school I think. What do you think?<br /><br />Thanks for the comment :) Haven't seen you "around" for a while. Hope all is well.emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105753491792762911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701157.post-1168273433482133062009-04-22T10:58:00.000+00:002009-04-22T10:58:00.000+00:00Didn't finish that.

You might misinterpret a child's lack of interest in maths as... not interested yet, when the child would be happily taught be someone else that not the parent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701157.post-81789939397490210682009-04-22T10:56:00.000+00:002009-04-22T10:56:00.000+00:00Good article.

Some crits:
"eg computer ...Good article. I likes.<br /><br />Some crits:<br /><br />"eg computer games, and of course this is a well duh point to make"<br /><br />You might benefit from the advice of an experienced game player, be it face to face or through a guide or walkthrough. In a sense, those will be teachers. Games are not "duh" easy.<br /><br />"And they don't need parents to find them a skateboarding tutor"<br /><br />They need parents to take them to the park at the time where the children can find other experienced skateboarders. Until they are "old" (skilled, independent) enough to go on their own, of course.<br /><br />"A big disadvantage of schools is that children have to access the advice, expertise and teaching provision on other people's terms as far as timetables and curriculum and so on are concerned."<br /><br />Fair point. What seem to forget is that home education is not a magical alternative to that. It also involve shedules if you are going to use outside help, even if it's just the time other skateboarding kids pop up in the park.<br /><br />Also, something you forget. Parents might no be good at teaching. You might misinterpret a child's lack of interest in maths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
