Can I home-school in Queensland, Australia without an adult there to supervise me?

We Answered:

You won't be homeschooling, as far as the government and the law go, if you're enrolled in BSDE. You'll be doing distance education, i.e. public school at home.

In order to qualify as homeschooled under Queensland law you can *not* be enrolled in any state or non-state school. See SMS-PR-014: Home Education in Queensland ( http://education.qld.gov.au/strategic/ep… ) Taken from the Queensland Government's Department of Education and Training website.

Also from the Queensland Government's Department of Education and Training website ( http://education.qld.gov.au ) :
"As of 2004, students enrolled in a recognised school of distance education are no longer entitled to claim dispensation (as homeschooled)."

BSDE is a state school; ergo you can't register as being homeschooled and be enrolled fulltime in BSDE at the same time. You're either one or the other; either homeschooled OR you're a BSDE student. In this case you'd be a (home-based) BSDE student.

Doing school at home does not automatically mean a person is being homeschooled. It just means they are doing lessons at home. It's the difference between working from home (doing BSDE at home) and running your own business from home (homeschooling). As far as anyone in officialdom goes, you'll still be a fulltime school student, no different than if you were to stay enrolled in your current school or going to enrol in any other government/private school.

Now, let's talk distance ed: No, your mum doesn't have to be there to physically supervise you while you're doing your lessons in order for you to enrol in BSDE, or for her to be considered your home supervisor.


P.S. The only time you need the government's approval to enrol in BSDE is if you want the Department of Education to publicly fund you for two or more courses, i.e. you're intending to enrol as a school-based learner. As it seems you're planning to enrol as a home-based learner and pay your own school fees, I'm not sure why you think you need the government's approval or the approval of anyone, 'cept BSDE and your mum.


P.P.S. I'm not sure where you got the figure of $3,000 from. According to BSDE's website their fees are currently $1078.50 per year for all 'by choice' enrolments ( http://www.brisbanesde.eq.edu.au/?bsde/e… ).

I am 23.My parents say I shouldn't go back to study in Australia.How can I convince her?

We Answered:

Okay...it sounds like your parents are controlling you and you're going to follow what they say. When you weighed your options your only source was your mother. I will share a secret w/ you...parents want you to believe they know best...often times (like the humans we all are) they are mistaken. So, you need to REALLY research your options.

For me age doesn't matter. You're never too old to go to college. Yes, employers higher younger people but, at 26 you're still considered young. 54 is considered a little older and closer to retirement. So, I tend to wonder if that fact is really true that your degree will be useless... Additionally, your mom is wrong about jobs during the summer. Any job gives you additional skills and adds color. It shows you're willing to work and not just relax at the beach. You want an intership or to work in something with your field but, a job is a job and you can still write your duties and skills...there she's wrong.

If you stay in HK...I'd say either work or go to school full time but, a degree is important. Work experience is important and good to have but, I wouldn't say one is more important than the other. You want to have work exp in your field but, you'll also need a degree to move up the ranks.

Talk w/ some professions and get some real data and re-evaluate your options.

You need to really figure out what you want. It sounds like your sexuality is a big factor in this and really explaining who you are to your parents and embracing it. You've got to do what will make you happy and be best for you financially and for your well-being. Think long and hard and go over FACTS and not just your mom's opinion.

Good luck!

How do I tell my family that I want to move to Australia to study at university?

We Answered:

Just tell them straight.
No matter how upset they are at you leaving, they will be happy that you are living your life and doing what you want to do and making something of yourself.
Just think how proud they will be when you're qualified.

Natalie Said:

I have left my family to study in Australia. I really miss my family and I cant get over them. What to do?

We Answered:

write e-mails often. I try n write to my family as often as i could even if it's not something important. u can call them too, though this might be costly. Use msn messenger to talk online. I do that sometime. Try n find a hobby, it should keep u distracted from all those feelings. Try exercise, they make u release more adrenaline which helps u feeling good. And they should have advisors who helps with home sickness too. Go and get some advise or talk to some1.

Jeanne Said:

I'm 23, gay. My mum says I am a loser. How can I persuade her that I can study accounting well in Australia?

We Answered:

My advice is that if you are able to go back to Australia and get your degree, then do it. I do not think that 26 years old is too old to enter the job market - many people start their careers at that age or even older. Furthermore, based on what you wrote, it seems that you would much prefer living in Australia than in Hong Kong. So, in my opinion, by all means, if you are able to go back to Australia and get your degree, I'd say that you should absolutely go for it.
