Alex Sergent, 40, was homeschooled as a child and then later as a teen because of his mental health issues. Decades later, he reflects on his experience and the impact it had.twice. The first time, I was just six and I was struggling to read. My mum was massively concerned and she took me out of primary school. She taught me at home for a year.
Even though I loved learning, I decided after two weeks at this new school that I wasn’t going to go any more. My mum let me, which she probably shouldn’t have. She was struggling with her ownproblems and my dad wasn’t in the picture any more. So I just stayed at home. I was given complete autonomy and with that, I just played video games all day. I even went to the cinema three times a week. This went on for two years.
From October 1996 to April 1997, I had no school education. I loved films and I loved computer games – I did that all day, every day for years. At this point, they hadn’t yet introduced fines for children not attending school. Instead, I had a welfare officer and a child psychologist who would visit as well. Between them, they would try and get me to go back to school.
