So, did you see all the headlines yesterday about the new Cambridge based, independant report into Primary education in Britian? Almost every paper had an article about it and they ALL mentioned homeschooling as an alternative to our failing British school system!!!!
So here is the link to the BBC article called 'England young among most tested' which has this wonderful line in it.
Educational alternatives, including Steiner-Waldorf schools and home schooling, produce better academic success. 
And here is the link to the article in the Guardian which is titled 'State schools shunned for home education' so I think it is pretty obvious that they are in favour of home ed, don't you? Here is just a small taste of the wonderful things said in this article.
English schoolchildren are among the most tested in the world. "No other country appears to be so preoccupied with national standards," it says. The research says home-educated children perform better and that children from disadvantaged backgrounds can improve disproportionately. Home-educated pupils are less likely to watch TV or spend hours on computers.
Now all that is needed is for the Government to actually pay attention to a report that doesn't say what it wants to hear! LOL! It is certainly good stuff though, and could quiet a few of your personal critics if you need any help with that. Just print these off and let those who are still undecided about your choice to home educate read these reports for themselves! They may not object quite so loudly in future!  |
