UK Virtual School isn’t just any online school – We dare to be different! We offer a flexible online British Education adapted for the modern world, catering for Year 1 to iGCSEs for Home Educating families, Expats, and World Schoolers. Season 5, Episode 12 - Are Home Educated Kids Weird? - Busting the Stereotypes There's a common question that comes up to home educating parents - "isn't home educating kind of weird?", today Syd busts that stereotype: ➡ Being "weird" is just a label, we love to label things as soon as we can to let the brain make sense of them. ➡ Weird isn't always a negative term, a lot of the giants in business were once labelled weird. ➡ Socialisation in home educated children are just as good if not better than children taught in traditional schooling, and the facts back that up. 🔗Links for this episode Interested in Joining Us?
