Two years since our children left school, and this is the honest version: not the Instagram one. Naomi spent a decade as a primary school teacher before deciding on home education, she thought she could do better for her own children, and we talk through exactly why. Discussion on what \"I'm bored\" actually means, why Year Six in the UK schools turns children into mini-teenagers before they're ready, and the pointless loophole that makes deferring a year at school meaningless anyway. If you're home educating, or just curious what it actually looks like day to day, this episode is for you.</p>","author_name":"Naomi Gale"}
