OHMYGOSSIP — Jeff Brazier has revealed son has struggled with home schooling.
The 41-year-old TV presenter has opened up about how his youngest son, 16-year-old Freddie, is having difficulties with his learning whilst having to do all of his lessons from home due to UK schools being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite his difficulties, Jeff is confident Freddie will pull through and achieve his dreams of becoming a barber when he leaves school in six months.
Speaking on the ‘Jess Brazier – Only Human’ podcast, he said: “There are a lot of parents out there that are having an absolute nightmare with home-schooling. I’ve got Freddie, my youngest is 16. He’s in his GCSE year. I mean, imagine of all the years it can happen to you within your education, for it to be literally the most important one is really unlucky. Freddie has never loved school. He’s not particularly academic. I’ve always been very mindful of not squeezing the square peg through the round hole as it were.
“So I know that Freddie has some incredible traits and I know that his future will be absolutely wonderful, just simply because of his depth of emotional intelligence. And his caring-ness and consideration for others, you know, that’s all through the roof. So I know that he’s going to be absolutely fine and be able to carve out whatever he wants to do. He also knows what he wants to do in his apprenticeship. He wants to be a barber. And so as a result, it’s almost like, ‘Right, all we’ve got to do is really get for the next six months and get him the other side of it so he doesn’t have to re-sit anything.’”
Jeff has raised both Freddie and his older brother Bobby, 17, since their mother, reality TV star Jade Goody, tragically died in March 2009 at the age of just 27 from cervical cancer.
And he has been impressed by Bobby – who has worked as a model – in recent weeks as the teenager has been on a “journey” of self-discovery as plans the next stage of his life.
Jeff said: “Bobby has been on a real journey. I mean, up until a couple of months ago, maybe he still really didn’t know who he was, what path he was taking, what he wanted to do next. And then all of a sudden, I think in the whole midst of lockdowns, he just went on a bit of a voyage into self-development. And, you know, it wasn’t even anything that I had instigated. You try and tell your kids to read books about things they’re not interested in. It’s impossible. But all of a sudden, he just started self-educating and he started to actually feel so confident in what he was learning and how much use it was going to be for him.”
