In Britain some families feel that learning at home is better than going to school. Home schooled children can choose when they want to learn. Does this sound more enjoyable than school?
Andrian is a science prodigy and he wants to start university by the age of fourteen. He finds school lessons easier than the ones he expects but making friends is more difficult. At home he can spend more time on his favourite subjects and is preparing to take many of his exams early. Does he ever take a break? “Yes”, he says “I don't study subjects I'm not interested in.”
Holly's parents weren't happy with the local school. So they made a decision to teach her at home. Her favorite is history and she often goes to museums to study. “I couldn't do that before”, she says. “This is more interesting than school was”. Her parents are always happy to help her.
