Ticha: Chai! You're making me hungry now. I want tuwo!
The biggest problem with home schooling is balancing it with work. Plus if your child is already registered at school, it puts you on Children's Services radar for about a year and they MAY do random visits, request information etc (that was the time frame before I left). Home schooling parents also sometimes get viewed with distrust by the system. Their first thought is always that the parent is hiding something � You will also need to find and slot into your local home schooling community. In Norfolk and Bristol where we lived, those communities were also very full of the pushy vegans, non vaxxers, off grid, sometimes government hating kind of people and omo, I can't fit shout abeg �. If you end up using tutors, then it becomes not only expensive but time consuming plus you become an employer on top of it. I'm not a big fan of Montessori or Steiner mainly because with a bit of time and money, you can replicate their methods yourself so why pay for it? Especially at early years and early primary level.
Saying that, I am seriously contemplating home educating my children at secondary level so we can do some long term travel. Husbot is not quite on board yet... I have met some very well learned home schooled children but they were gifted and taking them out of school enabled them thrive as school held them back. I would love a US style system where they have charter schools - mix of regular school, home school, online school and pipeline can puck and choose. Thanks for the info, for tueo you can get gero and dawa flour from Asian shops, I make fura and kunu tsamiya with them often, masa as well using Jasmin rice and tanda bought from Amazon. For the Montessori, I was thinking more of implementing the principles at home or within a small group of friends/community. Home schooling can be tasking true, but I believe with proper planning and scheduling it could work. I saw a family of 4 traveling round Europe in a van while both parents work remotely and home school the two kids as well. So with proper dedication it should work out. |

I don't understand why cars won't come with a spare or even a space saver... Did you buy the car from a tradesperson/dealership?? Or from Facebook/eBay etc?? Just safe stress and get the spare online, or even the kit. Or if it's a dealership they might do good will and get you one. For your questions I don't know the answer |

MabraO: Children raised here without shouting are worst then their Counterpart in Nigeria. You must be a good parent and teach your kids discipline that’s is what is lacking in uk all kids lack discipline and common sense is very far from them. Based on what statistics? The kids that killed silverster were not shouted at? Stop the generalisation. There are good people there are bad people, for the most part external influences, peer pressure etc has more effect on a kids life that home training and parenthood |

Lexusgs430: If you have been driving in Nigeria, it would take you much longer to pass the UK driving test............
Remember, you have 2 stages to qualify for a full UKDL ........
You must first pass the theory test, before you proceed to practical........
It's not impossible, but safe to have a practical lesson budget of between 10-25 lessons......... At about £20 per lesson........
Also remember, immediately you pass your Driving test, you cannot immediately apply for a PCO license, make you no go kill pésin pickin.....  I wanted to drop some info today about getting a driver's license and passing practical Today. Let me piggy bank off my oga post. My wife passed her practical driving yesterday (Automatic). She passed on her 3rd try. (1st time she failed because there wasn't road marking in a Tesco roundabout so she couldn't identify the right exit. 2nd was examiner shouted stop as she was creeping to forward to see past the vehicle to her right on a roundabout) she was heavily pregnant During the second test. Women strong oh Back to the mode of training. We got an instructor which she did 15-17 hrs of practice with before the first test attempt. After that she watched loads of YouTube videos on mock tests, road signs, manover etc. We went out couple of time to practice as well max 10hr combined total. After her second attempt on 10/12/21. I took her out for 2-3hrs of refresher on 10/3/22. And she past her test with 8 minor's on 11/03/21. What I am trying to point out is the importance of YouTube videos and how they can augment the practical lessons, she did not drive for 3month straight but kept watching videos so the refresher practice before the test date was just her driving in accordance with what she had learnt in the past coupled with the YouTube videos. Moral of the story Unless you have plenty free time/money to do multiple hours a week with a qualified instructor. Take advantage of technology and use YouTube to improve your skills. With the current queue and lack of instructors, I advise anyone trying to learn should watch loads of videos and buy a car and have the appropriate insurance on it? And beg/pay someone that has full license to go out with them. So that they can practice what they've watched on YouTube with the guidance of the full license driver. NB some full license drivers have picked up a lot of bad habits so they might not be perfect teachers, so stick to get information from multiple sources on YouTube. QED |

Lexusgs430: Another real life UK story, happened a few days ago ......
A known hypertensive man, was prescribed medications, to lower his BP levels.........
He did his own research about the prescribed drugs, DR Google informed him that possible side effects, could be weakness of his 3rd leg ........
Rather than returning to his GP, voice his concerns/or switching meds or let's assume his 3rd leg got weak.... Be placed on the magic blue pill, he completely refused to take his meds and not medically voice his concerns.......
He was at the restaurant last week enjoying himself last week, he had a cardiac event, rushed to hospital, after a few days, his life support machine was turned off.......
Not only did his 3rd leg eventually die, he also lost all the functions of all his body parts......... All body parts no longer required by him, body parts might be harvested for others to benefit.........
HEALTH IS WEALTH.......
NB : He also did not see the benefits of having a life assurance policy. They have now opened a go fund me page, towards burial expenses etc etc...... ..
Look after yourselves, nobody else will ......... Ayemi. May we not repeat the mistakes of our ancestors |

Lexusgs430: Real life story..........
A lady applied for a loan, lender required a guarantor, she got a guarantor....... Guarantor accepted secured term loan .......
Loan term 4 years : Guarantor sold his house after a few months and relocated, borrower lost her job after 1 year and could no longer service loan.......
Lender is chasing borrower, guarantor is out of reach, borrower is requesting lender keep chasing guarantor, that if guarantor did not put his full chest in front, lender would have not dropped funds.......
Borrower is claiming guarantor should be held responsible............ 
Long and short : Lender is holding borrower responsible, but borrower thinks it's not a fair position........ Did she by any chance share the loan with the guarantor. As a side deal? This life sha, What made guarantor sell the house immediately after securing the loan? Was he planning sales all along?? Plenty questions. BTW oga I need you to sign one form for me, the bank is requesting for it. |
