Here’s The Thing – How Home Education Works & Why
While driving along in the car today, I was thinking of a way to explain and encompass just how a Home Education really works and why. We give it that name but really what we’re referring to is the human right to thrive, grow and achieve. To fulfil a personal purpose and desire to obtain…
