"So, instead of burying their heads in the sand, maybe those parents who want to help with their children's education - and have a wider impact on education in their area - should consider this as a course of action instead of indulging in the intrinsically selfish practice of educating their children at home. "


We are NOT all the same, levels.

We are free people, born free...free to live our lives the way WE want to!

'School' dictates what we learn, how we learn it, when we learn it.

Learning is a life long business, we never stop. Every day we learn something different, often without even knowing. There IS another way to live your lives...but most are so 'conditioned' or shit scared to step outside the 'One Rule For All' message, that they never even try.

I do not believe we are all the same. I do not believe we all want to learn the same. I do not believe we all think the same.

I am a free person, and I have the RIGHT to live my life as I so choose, as do my children. They wanted, and chose, Home Education. My daughter has to fight twice as hard to get people to 'see' her, because employers are so thick these days they only see 'exam results' and not the person, but you know what....they always end up seeing Nonny, because she is erudite, intelligent, kind and gentle...and she always wants to do her best for those she works for.

Stop demanding that she lives her life the way YOU think she should.

She is free to live her life as she so chooses in the same way that we are all are. So many never get to taste that freedom.
