#10 The Pandemic Converted Me
Why I Chose to Stick with Home Education
On this episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Catherine Steele, who chose UKVS during the pandemic. As soon as her daughter (Hope) started, it became clear that home education suited her better that her previous traditional school, so she’s continued after lockdown. Catherine actually works in the traditional education system herself, and was very nervous about the change to UK Virtual School for Hope.
