Many home school parents believe that the vertical socialisation that their children are exposed to is far preferable to the horizontal socialisation of the formal school classroom. They believe that it is this vertial socialisation that enables their children to converse easily and get along with people of any age, not just their own age. We all know that a teaching qualification does not guarantee a good teacher and by the same token, the lack of a teaching qualification should not deter parents who are committed to home school their children. The excellent results obtained by thousands of mothers who are not more than a high school diploma should dispel the teacher qualification concern. Yes, these activities are extremely important as most people will readily agree and it is truly amazing to see and hear of the creative solutions that home schooling families have come up with to ensure that their students do not miss out on anything.
Most families are able to either slot in with a local school or are able to join a club.

It is currently the focus of the association to set it right with negotiations with the Minister and the department. We can help you here. We can also help you here.
