im in high school and since ive been down the wrong road b4 , i hardly concentrated on my studies at all for the past school year.

Thats why wen i did get to a high school i didnt get anything and we are doing our gcses this may.

Which is why i thought that homeschool is the best option for me cuz ma mum can teach me everything i missed out on.

but im thinking its bad because of the social part - i am a social person but i have got in with the wrong crowd - i havent done anything terrible but i am sure i would have if i had gone around with them people any longer. I also got a behaviour record :embarrass: . Plus i will probably end up as a freak going out in huuuge glasses and a hand knitted sweater from oxfam lol.

Anyway i was wondering if there is a muslim uk organisation for home schooled ppls ?
and please answer my title question

thanks all

:D

I would agree too... But the situation here is a little... Hmmm.

Is there no Islamic schools nearby? If not Islamic, then what about girls only (assuming that you're currently attending a mixed school)?
 
Home school or not home school if you want to learn eiather way will work i think homeschool is a bit better for you have that one on one with the teacher but thats me
 
its because im sooo behind. Islamic schools charge around £1000 just for these 3 months which is a rip off. i am continuing my education in egypt after summer holidays at the english high school there .
I dont do well cuz i jus used to mess around and backchat tha teachers. I neva took school seriousely. And failed most of my classes.

here is the home schooling website for the uk,

here is the islamic home schooling networks site...

http://www.islamichomeeducation.co.uk/

i am planning on home eding my kids, well i am already but they are below school age anyway.

to me it is wrong and unislamic to place children and young adults in such an environment where they are subject to fitnah and unislamic ideas when at their most suspectable.

home schooling is a legal right in the uk so if you are serious about this, do some research and approach your parents and explain your reasons in a mature and responsible way and inshallah they will respond likewise.

It can be good or bad. The important thing is to let the parents decide for their children.

I personally would like to homeschool my kids, if I didn't like the school options around me.
 
I think the situation is lilbit differnt but My opinion about homeschooling is not Bad...!!

parents & gaurdian are the first teacher of every Child..wats there wrong about? nothing...
 
Greetings,

I think homeschooling is fine in theory, but just make sure you have a seriously good teacher or teachers who can cover every subject that you want to be examined on.

Peace

Agreed.
 
Homeschooling ?
In my place homeschooling is a school method for rich people only. Very expensive. But I see in your place is different, your mum can teach you. In my place parent of homeschool boy/girl are too busy to make money.

I think homeschooling is not a good idea. Student must learn how to make a social interaction. In usual school, they can get many friends. And how can they get a friend if they always in home ?

And about your behaviour record ?. That is not a problem. My behaviour record was longer than yours :D. Actualy, every personality is unique. Don't worry about that. Just be yourself.

OK, go to school and get many friends.:)

Socializing ? not a problemm lool.
my problem was too MUCH socializing. I jus wanted to go out with my friends, and i was friends with my entire year group. So i was pretty much always asked to go somewhere. But it only got me in trouble and now i am thicker than a brick. seriousely, i have trouble with basic maths.

But yea, i am gonna join like a ton of sports clubs ( theres loads for muslims round my area ) and as many youth clubs/

Hmmm? That's a problem only you can sort out. You're not going to be home-schooled for your entire life. If you can't concentrate here because you feel the constant need to interact with students, then there's no guarantee you'll do any better studying in Egypt, or where ever.
Fix your own attitude towards studying and you may just pull through. Don't study because you have to, but because you need to (I do 31% of this, but what the hell)... To pass your exams and get a good job, maybe?
 
I would have died of depression if I'd have been homeschooled, thank Allah :D
 
A girl in my class has homeschooled and she gets striaght As. heres an article regarding someone opinion on this:

The popularity of home schooling has soared in recent years. According to USA Today, some 2 million children are being home schooled and the number of kids being home schooled is rising about 10% a year.

The proponents of home schooling say it gives parents control of their children's curriculum and protects them from the violence, sex, drugs and other social ills that beset the public school system.

I'm not jumping on the home schooling bandwagon; I don't think it's a wise or viable option for most households. There are many sound reasons why home teaching is a bad idea both for the sake of the innocents involved and for society at large.

News flash: Not everyone is qualified to be a teacher. A lot of parents can't balance a checkbook or find Iraq on a map -- let alone teach their young-uns Algebra & Geography. Just because you love little Johnny does not qualify you to be his teacher. It takes a good education as well as a love for children to be a competent teacher. The education and intellectual well- being of our progeny are too important to be left to rank amateurs. My mom and dad loved me but it was a 6th grade teacher that instilled in me a love of reading and writing.

Most parents home school their children because they are dissatisfied with public schools. I wonder if these same parents home treat their kids when they are severely ill, instead of taking them to a hospital, because they are dissatisfied with the health care system?

Home schooling a small child stunts his emotional and psychological growth. It's at school that a child learns how to communicate with his peers, respect those different from himself and to work as a team to accomplish goals. No, matter how loving and nurturing a home, it can't replace a school as a crucible for social development.

A dog that's been confined to a kennel for years will not make a good pet and a child who's been confined to his home during his formative years will find it extremely difficult to adjust to the real world. We don't need any more Jerry Dalhmers and Paul Hills let loose on our society.

Most parents who home school their offspring are religious zealots. These impressionable youngsters who are captive to the rigid dogma of their parents are robbed of the wonderful diversity of ideas and cultures that thrive in our public schools. If the number of kids being home schooled continues to grow our democracy will soon resemble the theocracies of Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

I know that public schools are vexed with many serious problems, but they are still indispensable to the intellectual, emotional and psychological growth of our dear little ones. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Instead of complaining about the dismal state of your public school; why not join the PTA, help raise funds or become a teacher's assistant?

Home schooling poses a serious threat to our educational system. Laws should be passed making it illegal for parents without a teaching credential to home school their children. A parent without a teaching credential who home schools his child is as irresponsible as a parent who lets a physician without a license operate on his child. Parents who home teach their kids in blatant disregard of the law should be prosecuted. Eventually we will all pay the price for their stubbornness and rebellion.

With the wide range of public, parochial and private schools there is no reason why any parent should choose to home school his kids. We have the best public school system in the world and parents should take full advantage of it.

On the contrary, I was in depression because of school.






If you homeschool, you can still interact socially with the kids in yourneighborhood, mosque, recreational teams. The bigger problem about homeschool is the motivation to do exemplary -- as there is no competition. But thats easily overcome. Do you best and also try virtual classes :)

Lol, this thread kinda amused me. I was home schooled from kindergarten through high school. Home schooled kids aren't isolated from the world, and they don't suffer bad grades simply because they're home schooled. If they have not developed adequate social skills compared to their age group or their grades are suffering, it's because their parents haven't put in the necessary effort and the teachers at their home school site have not helped in any way either. Not all kids who go to public schools have friends or high grades.

I don't know what home schooling is like in the UK. All I can say is if you want the best results, you really will need to put a lot of focus on it and your mother will have to have plenty of time to be there with you... About backchatting the teachers, just as a word of caution, you might want to really reform your attitude there or else brace yourself for a lot of fights with your mother if you try that with her. Maybe you can use this time while home schooling to just calm down, and get more serious about your education and then once you're done with high school you'll be in the right direction and fully prepared for college and university.

InshaAllah all will work out well for you and you will be successful in your education!
 
No social life with muslim friends is the only disadvantage.
