Elizabeth and Tanaya, Nay Nay |
How
long have you been homeschooling?
We
started a couple of months ago, I haven't started the school work. We
are unschooling. Unless you count the music, some people do.
Tell
me about your music.
I am learning how to play the piano and we use AMEB music school online, online theory course grade two. Also I'm taking lessons with an awesome teacher: Jane.

Explain
why you are homeschooling.
School
was too much. I couldn't fit in, I was musical and everyone was
sporty.
Were
you bullied?
No.
No.
Did
you have many friends?
No,
not really. They all tended to move. I would find a friend, then they
would move.
Do you want to say more about school?
No. Not at all.
Do you want to say more about school?
No. Not at all.
Elizabeth: I'm sorry sweetie, we're about to move.
I
know...thanks!
Elizabeth:
Sorry! We'll come back for a visit; I promise!
How
long did you think about homeschooling before doing it?
My
brother was homeschooling, so we thought about me homeschooling for
about two weeks before choosing it.
How
did you feel when it finally started?
I
felt great. It was wonderful. It felt as though great weight was released from my
shoulders.
And
how are you feeling now, months later?
I love homeschooling. That pretty much sums it up.
What is the procedure for figuring out what work to do for a family who homeschools here in Brisbane?

We
did a diagnostic test and from that they figure out what way to go,
what you can do, what is best for you. We go through distance
education (school at home) with Groves
Christian College.
Did
you take the (placemen) test?
Yes, I did pretty well. That's why they're not too concerned at all for me right now.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Yes, I did pretty well. That's why they're not too concerned at all for me right now.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Something,
anything to do with music!
What
has inspired you in your music?
Everything!
What inspires me...hmmm... I guess it was my grandparents who passes
away a few years ago. They loved music and they listened to it all of
the time. My mother listens to music all of the time too. I decided
to try it one day and I really loved it!
Do
you get out to see friends?
Yes!
All of the time! Play music, go shopping, go to movies, play
Lazerforce, play board games, ice skate. About anything that we enjoy
or that our group enjoys.
What
sorts of challenges have you faced with homeschooling so far?
Nothing
so far.
Would
you like to visit America?
YES.
I'd love to visit other countries. It would be a lovely cultural
experience that I would remember forever. I would love to go anywhere
where I can learn a new culture, somewhere where I can learn.
HEY!
I wasn't paying attention to the game and Elizabeth just beat me!
