Best friends

same town and they are in the same class at school.

But the girls are very, very different! Beth loves

sports and she swims every day. She gets up at 5.00

a.m. and goes swimming before school. Then, after

school she goes to the gym and swims again! At

the weekend she goes to different towns with her

swimming team for competitions. On Sundays she

stays at home and does her homework.

Gemma hates sports! She stays in bed every

morning until 8.30 a.m. and at the weekend she

stays in bed until 12.00! Gemma’s hobbies are

shopping and parties! She goes shopping in town

every Saturday afternoon with her friends and

goes to a party on Friday nights. She goes to bed

very late after the party! On Sundays she visits

her brother and his wife. They have a baby and

doesn’t do her homework and Beth helps her.

A school in your home

Some children don’t go to school. Well, they don’t

learn in a classroom with a lot of other children;

they stay at home and study with their mum or

dad. They don’t learn at home because they have

to, but because some parents think their children

don’t learn enough at normal schools.

‘School isn’t good for my son,’ says Miranda Peeler,

who teaches her son, Ben, at home. ‘Ben doesn’t

work in class. He plays with his friends all the time

and he doesn’t listen to the teacher. There are 30

children in his class, and it’s difficult for the teacher

to teach ALL of them. Now I teach him at home.

He learns all the important subjects and he does

a lot of work. He has to; he’s the only one in the

class! We study on the computer too. At school

there is only one computer for all the children in

the class. Ben likes home school. He’s a clever boy

and he wants to learn. Here he can do that.’

Brenda Masters is a teacher. She doesn’t think it’s a

good idea. ‘Yes, children learn a lot at home school.

But they don’t play with their friends. They don’t

learn how to work in a group. Work is important

but play is important too. Friends are important.

Sport is important. School is important!’
