Season 4, Episode 5 - Teacher turned Home Ed Parent - Journey from Anti-Home Ed, to Home Ed Champion
Do you feel like home education has more negatives than it does benefits? Kerry used to believe so but she's turned around now. Here are some things change her mind :
➡ Home Education gives the child the freedom to become their own person and learn in the way they want to learn.
➡ UKVS gives each of their students a chance to shine as they work together to solve problems, giving children the social interaction they need.
➡ Traditional schooling means there's 30-40 kids in a room, at UKVS class sizes are much smaller, meaning teachers have more time to focus on each student's development.
