Sangeetha Sriram and Hema Jain, two homeschooling parents from Chennai, shared their thoughts and stories on a radio programme on Radio One Chennai. The programme was a mix of English and Tamil and it was superb! Do tune in and share your thoughts with all of us.
The audio has also been posted on Swashikshan TV on youtube. Please click here to view the video.
Bravo Sangeetha & Hema.
Here is something I wrote after listening to your interview on Radio One, particularly the incident of learning about multiplication in the bathroom.

I have got a celebral palsy child can you help me in his education
Hi
I am a mother of 13 year old girl child, right now studying in 9th standard. She is facing lots of problem in her school. My daughter is humiliated in school by teachers. We believe this is suppressing her and affecting her confidence and self-esteem.
After i heard your interview, i want to know more about this.
We are thinking of this concept of home schooling. My only concern is how to go about, with 10th and 12th. My daughter wants to be a Motivational trainer. So if she wants to pursue her studies abroad, how should i go about.
Can anybody help me with this please.
Thanks

Hi, we are going to be relocating to goa next year with our sons, who will be 15 and 13. We’re
Concerned that our boys won’t cope in a very ridgid school setting and anyway one of our main reasons for relocating is to get away from that kind of pressure. Nothing set in stone about where exactly but possibly north goa, but it’s got to be right for our boys too. I just wanted to see
if there are any families with kids who are homeschooled who are in the same age range.
