    There's pros and cons to home-schooling.

    One worry I have about a side-effect of the fact that home-schooling does happen is that when someone sues the government for failing to safeguard Article 42.3.1 of the Constitution (only a matter of time before someone does) that the government will claim that the option of home-schooling is enough.

    Cheers Zillah, I'm all chuffed wit meself now.

    I don't think home schooling will work for me either, we'd really struggle if my boyfriend had to support us on his own. Also, like Thaed said, I'd probably drive him mad. He needs the contact with his peers as well, as it doesn't look like we're going to have another child, and I don't know anyone else with children.

    On the baptism front, we did actually get him baptised, but mainly because his Great-Grandmother was dying and we were under pressure to do it for her. Also, it turned out to be a nice gesture for his godmothers.

    A motivation theory used in business?

    Ok though I see how that could be used in other situations, though I’ve never discussed Maslow outside of a commerce scenario, it's not a definitive motivation theory.

    Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a method of humanistic determination. As you point out it is used as motivation model but that itself requires that very fundamental needs are addressed. It has long been used in many fields outside of commerce and to my mind is best associated with Carl Roger's theory of learning and instruction as a valid theory for learner motivation.
