Why I don’t pretend to be an expert when it comes to home schooling.

I will be home educating my son from September 2026 (The year he is supposed to start in Reception) and I am currently researching my options.

 There are many of you who claim to be experts in the 4+ assessment process and you speak about it as though you know so much when truly you know very little.

 There is nothing wrong with that by the way. But there is something wrong with claiming that you know more than you do.

 I know very little currently about home educating my son and I would never pretend that I do. I am informing myself however. I am making plans to ensure that we are all set to go from September 2026. This is all new to me and it feels uncomfortable just like it probably feels to most of you embarking on your 4+ journey (or 7+ or 11+ or whichever assessment you are preparing for). I would definitely pay to speak to an expert about home educating my son and most likely, if I run into any difficulty, I will absolutely reach out to an expert to ask for support and advice.

 We can’t know everything and guess what? It’s okay not to know everything. There will always be people out there who will know more than us.

 Stay informed.

Understand the process.

Go all in to get the results that you desire.

 That’s exactly what I will be doing on our home educating journey for my son.

 I know that in the early years of his life that I am able to provide the best education for him. Better than anything else available to him

And that’s what we want for all of our students here at CMT. The best education for all of them. Because we know what a difference the best education will have on their futures.
