"Incidentally - I no longer teach I am retired - it's how I can spend time researching and writing on the internet. Fortunately I don't have a 15 year old son to educate. That would take up all of my time even were I a qualified teacher.

But I suppose you can always pass him onto someone else, the builder for example."


The builder lost his friend two hours back, Dave. His other friend found him dead...He went home early.

Who the fuck are you to be so bloody condescending to me? Geez! You give teachers a bad name!

I don't hothouse my son...He's free! That's the WHOLE point of Home Education, that we are NOT tied into the system as you choose to be. My son is a bloody wonderful human being, so you leave him out of this.

Sorry about 'Daisybell'.......but I question many things and I'm afraid that something doesn't add up there. Just my feelings, to which I have an absolute right, as does Dave to his and Mary's to hers.

Home Education is about freedom. It is about NOT being tied down by the opinions of others, and accepting that everyone has a right to their own way of life, which is why I told 'Daisybell' and Dave that I'm fine about their school choices...'Daisybell's Mum' too....We all want what's best for our children.

I'm just interested in why people choose certain schools, choosing to move to get to another one.

I did it because the experieces of my daughter at one school were terrible...and I was wondering whether this was the same reason why 'Daisybell's Mum' also moved. That's all.
