Emma Watson replied to Shoshana's discussion 'Introductions'

HI Sarah, I'd be more than happy to meet up with our boys, my son is in touch with about 3 boys from school and has just met another home ed lad but that's about it at the moment though I do intend seeking out some clubs etc in the near…

Hi Emma, my son is also nearly 12. He too suffered some bullying at primary school and we also got no help from the school. We live near Croydon, so we're not a million miles from Horsham, just a train ride. Maybe the boys could meet up at…

Hi sarah and Carol I've been doing this HE lark about 7 yrs. My older two have done much better since I pulled them from school and the younger three will hopefully never have to go - although obviously nothing is written in stone. My oldest…

Hi my name is Carol. I have home educated my son for three years. He has been to school previously, but due to 'difficulties' we took him out. We followed a 'home made' curriculum initially, but have become more relaxed about it…

Hi! I'm Sarah and I have 2 sons. My eldest is 12 and he is the that we're home edding. My younger son is 8 and he's still at school for the time being. We chose to home ed primarily because weren't offered a place at a school…

shell scott replied to Shoshana's discussion 'Introductions'

Ah Emma that business of getting long words but not short ones is a very dyslexic trait (I am not dx here obviously) Both Alex and Iona are like that. My 7 yr old has some similar traits but we are working on them bit by bit. I am afraid schools can…

Emma Watson replied to Shoshana's discussion 'Introductions'

Hi, Thank you so much for taking the trouble to give a detailed explanation and I do think that James has some sort of reading/spelling difficulty but as of yet we're unsure just what exactly. It's strange also that if he spells a lengthy…

Hi Emma, Hope you don't mind me wading in. I know how tricky those first few days/weeks/months can be (still there!) after deregistering our 4 in June 2011..eldest ASD, middle 'mild' dyslexia/calculalia I have some experience of…

Emma Watson replied to Shoshana's discussion 'Introductions'

Thanks so much for the information and you've given me a great idea regarding James' reading - he loves Beano and has agreed we could start reading from that plus we've found a site that gives great tips for spellings and is fun to…

shell scott replied to Shoshana's discussion 'Introductions'

I bet the school have suggested that - at your expense. Cheeky! Alex was assessed when he went to college. He was much more dyslexic than I'd realised but his visual IQ is 136 so they said he had compensated well. He still struggles in some…

Carol L replied to Jo's discussion 'Home ed groups/meet up's in East Yorks/Humberside?' in the group Yorkshire

Hi, I've just joined this group. We are near East Yorkshire but also go to Doncaster sometimes. I have a twelve year old. We are in contact with the Scarborough & Hull groups but would like to make new friends. Carol.
