Mum removes kids from school to let them do what they want - from lie-ins to Lego

A mum who took her son out of mainstream education to 'de-school' him after training to be a teacher herself has said she wants him to be free to choose his own activities.

Bethany Bishop, 29, took her six-year-old son out of school in May this year after training to be a teacher and realising she could spent the time teaching her own child rather than everyone else's.

The mum-of-two also hopes to homeschool her four-year-old son when he's old enough, and said that letting her children learn at their own pace has had a positive impact on their development - as she even lets them have lie-ins whenever they want or spend hours playing with Lego.
