Ruth has never been to school. Voice your opinion on educating

children at home. Share your experience if any.
Hello Sara,

Thanks for your letter – I always like to hear you.

How are you on the distance learning? One more month and I will hate it! But I
chatted with my internet friend, who never been to school! She is Ruth. I meet her
in anonym chat. Ruth`s mother teaches her writing, maths, reading, science and
history. Sometimes she watched video conferences in YouTube. But it isn`t home
schooling!

I have one more friend, who didn`t go to school. He studies at home because he has
a younger brother who is 1 year old and their mother are very afraid of the virus.
He meets with his school teachers in ZOOM and they explain all school lessons! I
think, this is really home schooling.

As i said I'm tired of sitting at home. It is very bored! I`d like to meet every day
with my schoolmates, talked to teachers etc. And I wouldn't call home schooling
great. I think it is wrong. If I learned at home, I wouldn't have enough
communication.

What is your opinion? Write me soon!

Best wishes

Anastacia
