Having just read Lizzie's last post at Date: 30 Sep 09 - 04:26 AM , I can truly empathise with her.

However, unlike Lizzie, I do not think there is only one way to educate. There are some pretty crap teachers out there and some excellent ones. There are some very good schools and some pretty crap ones. There are some pretty good home educators and some pretty crap ones.

All you can do as a parent is do your very best and make considered decisions that you think are correct at the time.
