What About The Social Life ?
It is said that home educated families have a greater and more diverse social life than that of their school companions.
Home educators in Eastbourne meet throughout the week for social and educational activities, and the children also attend clubs, classes, sporting and leisure activities in the community. The children mix with people of all ages as well as their peers. See the Home Education Advice Page for more information. |
