It's simply not necessary for children to do homework.


And Dave, when I said 'Leave our kids alone" I meant home educated ones. I've no problems with children who go to school and love it.
But do NOT force all children to go to school or to abide by the Bloody Curriculum.


So, no-one's answered me yet...

IF schools are doing this wonderful job, why is the country so dumbed down? Why are employers always complaining that kids can't do this, can't do that..? Why are so many kids at University who er...aren't really bright enough to be there? Why has a degree now become almost meaningless, as in 'everybody's got one of those'?

Home Educated children are actually seen as different, in a very positive way, because they're outside The System and more often than not, think for themselves, think differently, don't run with the pack mentality.

I've spent the last 30 minutes looking at the kids my daughter went to school with, on Facebook photos..They're all interchangeable. Everyone's partying till they drop, drinking till they drop...

I feel I've suddenly started living inside HELLO magazine! It was spooky and depressing, because I remember those children when they were little..and they were very different back then..but then, that was before they were sent inside The System for near on 13 years.....

..,..then, when they came out...............

"There's a pink one, and a blue one and a green one and a yellow one....and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same..."


And still the Little Hitlers yelled....

"More Rules!"
"More Regulations!"
"More Checks!"
"More TESTS!"
"More EXAMS!"
"NO Home Education!"
"Stamp them all the same!"

..."there's a pink one and a blue one..and..........
