    No, we home schoolers can set the curriculum ourselves.
    As long as the child is being taught acceptably for their Age Ability and Aptitude they they (LEA) are fine. They're not daft...they can see when things are not being done right!

    So do the children have regular tests?

    I can certainly see why some parents home school though. A couple of hours at home one on one, is far better than a whole day in a classroom of 1 in 32

    I set the girls tests based on what I know they can do and a little extra to stretch their learning.
