Half term is here...yay! A great from studying with CJ but now studying with RJ who is studying for his exams starting next month - A levels.

Speaking to a mum yesterday who home schools her four children the topic of curriculums came up. While we follow www.cie.org.uk for IGCSEs I did discover they cover much younger children in primary from the age of 5. 

However to be honest there are many books and online resources that home schoolers can follow that show what school children are learning nationally for each year group.

In the UK we are teaching children younger and younger and I genuinely feel that we must learn from other countries who start teaching their children from 7 onwards. Academically their results are great - could we learn from them?!

I challenge you to search the internet for famous home schooled adults - you will be surprised!
