Schooling

My students and I are studying 'education' (as a language area, of course) and I would like to give them a chance to look at alternative ways of getting one, as their own experience is entirely school-based. Homeschooling is very uncommon here. In their final years of school some children choose to study 'externally', which means they spend less time, if any, having formal classes, and just take tests and exams. This kind of 'external' learning exists within the state system of education, but unlike the mainstream school, it is not free of charge.

14th April 2007

I just thought I'd like to have a 'kitchen' in cyberspace...
The kind of kitchen that's a proper place for 'homespun' musings and ramblings of a very busy working mom of five.
I hope my friends will drop by and pause over a cup of tea...And what a relief, unlike my RL kitchen, I can save myself the bother of cleaning it... or can't I?
