Does anyone have experience of online courses for home school children? My DGD cannot cope with school due to social skills problems but I am concerned that she will not get a broad spectrum of learning just from books ( has dyslexia too so books not the best choice). Very into computer games etc so I was wondering if anyone knew of any interactive online courses for children ( she is 11 by the way).

I’d support those. My DGC used them during lockdown.

All very interesting, but the ORIGINAL POST was 11 years ago!

🤣🤣🤣 serves me right for not looking at the date. Possibly it’s a question based on the current interest in home schooling.
If not, why do these old posts keep appearing.

They get resurrected by Spammers, Mollygo and their posts are deleted by GNHQ, but the thread goes back into ‘active’.

I’ve often wondered if threads should be deleted after a given time, or kept in an archive, where they can be read, but not added to?

It’s usually spammers that resurrect them Mollygo.

Curses! Fooled again. I seem to keep falling into a lot of old posts recently. Some of them develop a life of their own and get up and run again.

My grandchildren do some courses over video link with an actual tutor.
They love him and he's very good.
They have done well in GCSEs

I don't know about online courses that are computer driven.

Meant to say.
...but I expect there are lots.
I know one of my grandchildren did their maths revision online.
