She homeschools them. I do remember something about bullying going on with her son and maybe one of the twins ( correct me if I'm wrong). So that might have contributed to her decision.
She has said on her stories she doesn’t home school… they would do work from the school books but she doesn’t do it with them. She also changed the boys to a different school and they loved it supposedly. Not sure about the twins but I get a whack of them helping a lot with the younger ones. Probably not a bad thing but they need to be kids and not have to always be looking after the small ones. So I really do think them all being home benefits her - no early mornings/drops to school, they have more time to go galavanting while the rest of ireland have to work/go to school etc…. I just think she’s being a very selfish/lazy parent. You could try and say that’s not true but she said she wasn’t sending them back originally cos Kildare had such a bad outbreak at one stage. They never went back. Then she starts travelling either with or without the kids and not fully vaccinated at that. So the risk is greater than a school. Also flashing being vaccinated means nothing, you can still catch covid and pass it on. Everyone thinks once vaccinated they can go around literally licking everyone. You still need to be incredibly careful. She’s using covid to suit herself to be honest, with her benefitting from it all and the kids suffering (not seeing friends or interacting with kids their age etc). You could argue too she brings her kids to historical places and learn a lot from that but seriously who needs that info later in life??? That won’t get you far in life really. But you do you Corina, for that content you so crave. Just don’t be giving out about the education system in this country anymore if you can’t even bother to send your kids to school.
Sums it all up perfectly sleep deprived!
Ireland is a great country but driving around in the rain on a windy wild day in Donegal with 8 kids in a van is my idea of a nightmare
How does she not get into bother with the dept of education not having them in school ?
Imagine the cost of educating 8 children through college…of course they might not all want to go that route but I’d like to think I could give them the opportunity. Isn’t that the main reason for having fewer kids these days? Giving them the opportunities? Swimming lessons? Music lessons?
You just register to home school. Complete an application. Someone is supposed to call out to you but I think they have been busy etc since covid. You can homeschool as you choose.
Ah right don’t know much about it so was wondering, I know some of her kids had issues with bullying and that’s horrendous but it’s a bit task taking on home schooling in my opinion.
She never set up homeschooling she even said it herself that she’d never do it.
She is not registered or claiming to be homeschooling, has said so herself. Apparently Dept of Ed/Tusla not heavily investigating school absences at this time.
its a huge factor in how people raise their families
unless you earn serious money ...children in a very large family are going to have limitations placed on them by their parents choices whether the parents like to admit it or not
social /educational etc
there are grants available for third level but they are fairly basic

She definitely had a follow up & they were happy with the support they were getting both at home & at school. I remember whoever contacted her asked about the possibility of a room on their own at school but sure we all know schools just don’t have the space or the staff to provide that. I imagine when things have improved there will be a home inspection but the kids are doing school work for sure, I remember her talking about it.
Being honest I’d say it’s a relief being able to keep them home. They’ve had their fair share of bullying. The death announcement for her daughter must have been awful to deal with especially when she had just got the boys settled in their new school. I wouldn’t hold it against her keeping them home for an extended period.
what was the death announcement? I dont follow her but i think bullying was mentioned before wither on this thread or another that the kids have had an awful time.... 8 kids fair play to her i just wouldnt be able!
Ellegree I agree with most of your point. However I think that posting your kids regularly on Instagram, with a significant following can increase the risk of your child being bullied/targeted at school. I'm in no way excusing the behaviour of the bullies btw
Firstly her son had an ongoing issue in his previous school resulting in a broken nose. While he was still off school she had him with her at the school picking up siblings one day & the bully appeared & went for him again. School still wasn’t interested so she pulled all the boys out & kept them home until she found another school.
I forget the exact details about her daughter but there was a death notice shared on social media with funeral details at one stage. There wasn’t much more about that but I think it was close to the schools closing for Covid. If it was me I’d be afraid of my life sending them back to school. There’s no way I’d send my kids in if it wasn’t resolved. Right now they’re all happy & healthy & thats all we want for our kids.
She’s dead right keeping them away from school if that’s the case, my god how awful must that have been for the poor kids, horrendous!
Wow that is awful . She is dead right to keep them off .. that is truely awful
And with regards to all the travel they do. They’re not sitting on a beach or by a pool drinking cocktails all day while the kids are free to roam around. All of their trips involve plenty of museums & exploring & there’s plenty of learning to be done on a holiday like that. In general homeschoolers do a lot of day trips to similar places sometimes with other homeschool families.
while I agree with a lot of what is said about others on tattle I’m finding it hard to agree with some of the comments directed towards Corrinas way of parenting. It might be a little different to some people but it doesn’t mean it’s the wrong way.

It's not that I disagree/agree with homeschooling or even choosing to keep your kids home during a pandemic. It's the fact that Corrinna made that choice due to the risks involved and avoiding same, get has stayed in at least five different establishments since June 7th, kids are being brought around left, right and centre. A lot of trips happened before Corrinna fully vaccinated too....it just doesn't add up imo
