School camp

Post Reply New Topic

I have been researching primary schools for my children.

I came across one school that had compulsory camp in year 1, 3, 5, 7(child would be 6, 8, 10, 12).

I will not send my children to this school.

Other parents with AS/HFA children...... What do you think? Would you send your child to this school?

i wouldn't send my kids there. but then that's not how things work where i live. kids go to the school closest to their home unless they go to catholic school or you want them in a french school. there aren't really any other options. all schools follow the same lesson plans and most have the same programs in place unless you live in a wealthy area where fundraising provides extra opportunities for the kids. i don't understand why a camp would be necessary or have anything to do with school.

I would depending on the kids and the other aspects of the school. It's hard for me to have too much of an opinion because I don't send mine to school full stop (and have no plans to at this stage, although that could change dependent on circumstances and abilities). One with a camp would only work if it were a very small, community type school and I could go along as a parent "volunteer" if, at the time of the camp, either he or I he felt he needed me to come along. If it was a school that "required" the children to go alone then absolutely not.

Do you homeschool! I think i love you!

I want to homeschool but due to stupid government red tape i cant and have to work when my daughter turns 6. I have decided to go into midwifery so i can work with women and/ or their partners going through the change.

My son was on the list for steiner but they wont take him now he is ASD. My daughter is gifted and looks possible AS. I have a school i like with only 125 students near me that i am thinking of. hmmm.

this is so hard. gah.

I do homeschool. Thanks for the love. I need the love. In this place we call Earth we actually don't have to work when our collective daughters turn six if we want to homeschool, not sure what government red tape you mean but if it is the tape that wraps up parents and requires them to participate, that can't stop you from home educating. I can share more about it with you in PM. I thought what you thought because they don't tell us what they don't want us to think.

I'm a single mother. I homeschool and I study too. Right now one unit per term, but I just finished a Cert IV online as well. Yes I'm stressed out but it keeps me busy in "all my spare time". Midwifery is brilliant.

My son is 2E (ASD and gifted maybe, or maybe just gifted with ASD). He was in a small school for a few years prior to compulsory education but even that wasn't working out too brilliantly. It's pretty shithouse (can I say that?) that Steiner wouldn't take your child now that he is ASD.
