What is De-Schooling?
De-schooling is the stage that many children go through after being de-registered. During this period don’t worry if your child does not want to do much in the way of formal ‘work’ or pressure them into ‘doing’ something. Think of it as a period of re-adjustment, get to know each other again and allow your child to pursue their interests and find out what they really want to learn about. The time it takes to de-school will vary according to the personality of the child and the degree of damage done. If you have withdrawn your child because they have had a very unpleasant experience at school (for whatever reason) the period of de-schooling may be a bit longer.
