Bruce, home educators over here receive not a single penny. Their children are not even allowed to sit exams for free, which they are trying to get changed.

Basically, you get absolutely zilch, not a book, not anything...

We were, at least, blessed with our EWO officer, who gave my kids a wealth of gold in his inspirational words about them.

He actually *liked* them....I mean really liked them, and that made such a difference to them both.
