In the Trenches of Motherhood

Practical guides for kids, family life and the home.

Homeschool and learning at home

Updated

A smaller section for homeschool and learning at home, including curriculum, subjects and planning. United States and United Kingdom rules stay on separate pages.

In the United States, a guide that covers the law will cite the education department for the reader's state. It will also say when a source is an advocacy group, such as HSLDA, rather than a government page.

For the United Kingdom, guides cite home education guidance on gov.uk and local authority pages. Rules differ by nation and by local authority. Check your local rules. A page on this site is not legal advice.
