As founder and director of Kingdom Destiny Home-schooling, my  background is in education. I began by teaching Sunday School,  then trained as a Special Education teacher. I have worked from  Prep to Year Twelve, looking after the ones who found school difficult. These children were identified in Prep before they had a  chance to know they were different and dumb down, feel lost or  develop unhelpful behaviours.  They may have had special needs  or be gifted and so we created individual programs and pathways for them which involved vocational education, traineeships, apprenticeships or gifted programs. We made sure that all  children had opportunities for work experience, traineeships and  apprenticeships, because an academic pathway is not for  everyone. And whatever pathway they chose, learning to work and have a job is always important.
