First day of YuuMii Home Education!
This is it. We are on our way.
Approval from the NSW board of studies, and certificate in hand (so to speak) we shall now embark upon this journey.
We have started the day with Physical Education, outdoor sprints with warm up. Now, the intro to our grand plan. Everyone is excited, and I am a bit nervous.
Wish us luck, and if you have any tips or tricks, please share!!
Un-Life-Home-Project-Based Schooling?!
We are actually doing it!
The last few months (Well, really it’s been years!) we have been planning for this moment… To keep the children home, and out of the system. Technically, they are in the system, but we hope that this way they have a fighting chance at retaining their humour, creativity, curiosities and very unique sense of self.
I am madly prepping for the “interview” on Wednesday. Yes, I am nervous. Yes, I am overly prepared. I have a gorgeous proposal, all of the curriculum guidlines met, and now organizing the childrens workspaces.
The best part about this trip so far has been this morning, when my children announced their excitement and eagerness for our adventure to begin when they begged us to start “Right away!” and not in January, the new school year. Of course, this will happen. Learning should not have a start and end date!
We will have all our news posted here, the process and the time required to get things done.
Break it down:
Application: 1 hour, emailed
http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/parents/home-schooling.html
Reply by phone: 3 days later
Phone call to arrange interview: 30 mins (while food shopping)
Proposal Document: 2-5 days
Curriculum Purchasing: $100 and an hour of digging to find “fun” books
So, What do we call this? I really don’t like any of the conventional names for home schooling. I guess we will call it… The YuuMii School!
“Give the child an armour against doctrine.” A good video about how technology is part of our learning process and keeps evolving.

YuuMii knows: Make-Believe is magic!
“…children can be “primed” for creativity by how they are persuaded to think about and see the world around them.”
It’s been a long time, and we are extraordinarily sorry. Once you hear our story, I think you will give us your forgiveness.
We have had a bit of a set back in the marketing, promotion and development of our 9thCloud app and curriculum. A certain Media and entertainment giant, here in Australia has decided YuuMii is not to use the number 9 in any or all reference to our product, logo or sites.
Months of negotiation and reworking our vision, we are now left with the knowledge that we will have to suck it up and start over.
Please don’t give up on us. We will be back bigger, better, and stronger.
In the meantime, here are some of our first pass’s at logos, and product name ideas. Let us know your thoughts!
