Hi
My daughter is doing an essay on her boat schooling experience and
needs to add other information collected by survey.
She and her sister did correspondence through the NSW (Australia)
state school system, for five years which worked well and accommodated
our needs to carry 3-6 months of work aboard at a time.
If anyone could get their kids to answer these question I'd appreciate it.
regards
Colin
Here is her introduction and the survey questions:
Hi,
For my IGCSE English coursework, I have to write an informative
article based on interviews with a number of sources. The topic I have
chosen is home schooling for kids who live on boats, or learn via home
schooling in some way because of boats. The article will inform people
who are considering home school of options open to them, providing the
pros and cons from the view of actual students.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would fill out this interview
with as much detail as possible, as this goes towards my end of year
grades.
Thanks,
Courtney
