Autorenporträt

Ross Mountney is a parent, writer, teacher and home educator. She started her career in teaching but soon felt that much of what went on in schools was just no good for some children. She realised it wasn't good for hers either so she ended up home educating and wanted to support other parents in doing so too. She was the writer of A Home Educating Nobody, the popular regular piece in the Education Otherwise newsletter, and now blogs at http://rossmountney.wordpress.com
