Hmm, isn't the spelling ''School'' a bit of a weird spelling?
Anyway, something that struck me following a MSN conversation with Mum in regards to my sister and her situation with schools.
Now, apart from boarding schools I have attended all that I've put on the poll (also barring the option ''I did not go to school''). Due to problems of personal nature, I found public school extremely difficult and made worse by constant bullying and I had to be taken out to a private school, which again I found it extremely difficult due to problems of personal nature that wasn't helped by constant bullying, so my only option was to have Home schooling.
However, whilst I'm aware that not every child is the same and that there are many stances from people who feel that Home schooling is never a good option to have, it was in a way a good option for me. Although saying that, I would never opt for my own children (if I have any) to have home schooling but this option of schooling was the only choice for me and without that option I wouldn't be where I am now. However whilst it could be pointed out that maybe I should have tried to look for different schools, unfortuantely they couldn't take me or we couldn't afford it, especially due to my mother's health and moving around and I couldn't afford to stay out of the school system for too long.
Again, not every child was the same and if I could go back and would have had the support in place that I have now at university then maybe I would have been able to have managed Public or Private school much better but alas that didn't happen and like so many who have problems in school I fell through the cracks and was left to struggle, especially when I think about all that I've missed out on but if I had just been left and my parents hadn't have tried and fought, I wouldn't be at university now.
Please note that I'm not saying that Home schooling is super great and that I recommend it for everyone, what i'm trying to say is that every child is different and one school system doesn't allows fit for one, especially when lack of support is present.
Thanks and I hope that I haven't offended anyone....
