y 9 yr old is in top 5 of waitlist list of school of my choice (For Year 5). He has 8 yr old sibling further down the list in year below. The school said maybe a place for him at Easter 2011 but more realistically Sept 2011. Thinking that if all other schools are full as well I could use a combination of different tutors and classes at Sylvan to make up the missing 2 terms rather than put them in a completely different school for one or two terms? Do people do homeschooling as a short term measure? This could be supplemented with lots of playdates and after school sports so they don't feel lonely. Any thoughts? What are my chances of finding a good unemployed teacher who could also cover the National Curriculum part time?
No option of Corporate Debentures.
We are coming from overseas so would also be a good opportunity to get them started in Mandarin and target any weak areas. Does this sound do-able??

Have you asked the school about this? They must have a list of supply teachers, often retired teachers who still do some P/T- this problem must come up often enough that they should be able to advise on tutors.

Found a few tutors easily! Now have to find someone to share the cost!

Hi, if you decide to do this there is a homeschool meet-up group in Hong Kong, so there are lots of opportunities for outings.

Unfortunately I'm in on Tai Tam Road near Stanley but the tutors come from Central in the mornings and have told me they can teach any ages together as they set work for them alternately... She's doing 15 hrs pw and its around 9000 pw which is crippling! I got her a place at KIS but wasn't too impressed with the english section, I'd doubt there's be much english spoken at lunch and break times so she could end up being just as lonely!
