There is a lot of hysteria around home education in the press at the moment. It doesn’t help that the awful death of Sara Sharif has been linked to it.
Why is no one asking why social services didn’t do more when that poor child was already on their radar? Home education is a convenient scapegoat.
In the meantime, I don’t think people who don’t home educate, realise how much home education they do.
We certainly did, and still do, in every holiday.
In the past, last Fridays trip to Salisbury Cathedral learning about it’s history and the history of the Magna Carta) would have been done in the summer holidays.
And today’s baking, while not on the timetable of home education because we are in our Christmas break, still reminded Brandon of times two (we doubled the recipie) and gave him yet more experience in cooking.
These days we just do full time what was restricted to school holidays.
I wonder how much home education non home educators would find in their own homes if they looked? Especially those members of the press who plainly have it in for us.
