Who are home-schoolers?
They are students whose parents have decided not to send them to the national mainstream school system.
Parents have three pathways to choose.
Send the children to international school.
Send the children to private school .
Or send them to home school.
While the international schoolers will pursue the International Baccalaureate qualification, private schools will still pursue national mainstream examinations but with a fillip towards doing other international examinations.
For the home-schoolers, they will use any established teaching curriculum and then programme themselves at their own pace to sit for the IGCSE examinations of the UK.
Those pursuing the IGCSE can apply for a local university to continue with their tertiary education-Universiti Sains Malaysia.
I started teaching English to my 7 home-schoolers in the last two weeks of June.
It is now mid July and I have done my assessment of their English level.
From next week, they will move to compound and complex sentence building.
No more simple sentence construction, per se.
