Poor Homeschooling Curriculum Provider
Clonard used to be one of the best homeschool programmes. They were flexible, understanding and ideal for those children who did not fit into the mainstream schooling system and for those anxious learners who require more time to grasp concepts and have learning challenges. Unfortunately, this has all changed at Clonard. They have become impossible to work with. They are running a homeschooling curriculum like a brick and mortar school. There is no flexibility whatsoever. They dish out the work and expect children to get through a huge volume of work within set times for when Clonard stipulates exams will be written. They don't offer study guides or scopes to help guide the children on what to learn for the exams, they just expect learners to get through every subject from cover to cover. The best cheek about Clonard is that they're the ONLY homeschool curriculum provider that expect tutor centres to pay a membership fee. Other providers offer referral commission. I wouldn't choose Clonard as a distant education curriculum if you are trying to get your child/ren who may need that extra time, are anxious, have learning challenges, educated. They don't accommodate for these children at all...in fact you must see how difficult their weekly English spelling words are. It's definitely impossible for those children with challenges.
