Homeschooling in Newcastle
Today I did a radio interview with Tanya and David on KOFM. Apparenty homeschooling is continuing to rise in Australia. They quoted a figure of 50 000 kids in Australia.
For those of you wanting more info on homeschooling in Newcastle here are some relevant websites.

You wouldn’t believe it I was up at 7am listening to the radio station, but I was on the wrong one and by the time I realised you were finished. I tried to find a podcast but haven’t had any luck yet.
Talk soon Michelle

Ooh, how exciting! Let me know if and when a podcast becomes available, Michelle?
How did you find the interview? How long did it go for?
Hi Susan,
Since they stick to the same questions (what about socialisation, what are the disadvantages, how do you stay sane etc.) I have a fairly rehearesed answer. The only bit that thew me was asking how old my kids are, then I faltered (a bit pathetic I know).

Ha-haa, I falter all the time when it comes to the ages of my children! How silly is that?
Well done!!
