okay im 14, year 10, coursework, gsces are soon and at the moment im not going to school. Im going to see a counsellor and my parents and teachers are talking about home and hospital. But i dont know what that means, ive googled it with no luck. A woman is coming to my house tomorrow to talk about my ''options'' and what im going to do next. I was just wondering how easy it would be to get a home tutor, as i know a friend who got taught by a tutor, but at school, which will not happen for me as i will no way go back to any school, which the teachers now understand. I want to be taught in the safety of my home as i suffer from paranoia and ect. Any imformation will be very helpful. Thanks.

You sound like me. I hate my school and I want out of it. I'm trying to convince my parents. I really don't understand what your question is but you could probably get a tutor. I'm sure you could. good luck!

Tuturs are sooo very expensive (I had my own for when I was out of school) but the education you receive is excellent. I'd advise it, but hiding away from school because of paranoia is not a good idea. You need to be encouraged into socializing not running away from it. I know sometimes school can be HORRIBLE! and the teachers and the pressure and the annoying bullies, but its life and things will be preety similer in the work place too. good luck though:)

If you're unable to attend school for medical reasons then the LA are required to make Alternative Provisions which could mean them providing a tutor. Now that's the last thing they want to do because of the cost. Being tutored at home care of the LA is not home education (what Americans call home schooling). Elective Home Education means that your parents take back their legal duty to provide you with an education (they're currently delegating it to the school and LA) and if they do so they will receive no financial help. Zip. Nadda. Not one penny. On the plus side, no need to follow the National Curriculum or take GCSEs. Bear this in mind when the lady talks to you about your options. EHE is great if that's what you want BUT if you want to take GCSEs and have a tutor then you're better off having the LA pay for all that.
