Home Education, Ask the Dr and Coping With More Grandchildren.

BBC Radio Scotland - The Kaye Adams Programme, Home Education, Ask the Dr and Coping With More Grandchildren.

Would you consider home educating your child?

Kaye Adams asks if you would home educate your child. Plus a Falkirk teen says that red hair propelled her to taekwondo stardom, and sex surgery is being discussed in Ask the Dr.

The number of children being home-schooled has risen by about 40% over three years, the BBC has found. Across the UK 48,000 children were being home-educated in 2016-17, up from about 34,000 in 2014-15.
In Scotland, 0.1% of children are home-educated, 969 in total.
