4. First update of 2022. Our first three months.

Reflections on our first three months of home educating. If you have any questions, suggestions for topics or feedback please let me know.

3. My own experience of schools and how it informs my views as a parent

This episode explores my memories of growing up and how I found the UK education system in the 80s and 90s. 


There are references to self-harm and some other heavier concepts, so I would urge caution if listening around young people. I always try to keep things family-friendly, but I need to cover specific themes to give the complete picture. 


Thank you, as ever, for listening.
