There are an awful lot of very eloquent bloggers speaking about the review in blogland. Here are links to a few of them; keep following those links – and if you are not an HEer, keeping substituting “home education” with something that relates to your life and see how it sits on your tongue. It’s […]

Geography. And no, i couldn't have planned this a year ago.
Maps. Essential? Not essential now that savnavs and gps exists? Not essential but interesting? Or perhaps, possibly, fascinating. Maddy wanted to do some geography. She wasn’t sure what geography and i don’t particularly thrive on being handed a “subject” to just DO, like that, so i suggested we start with a couple of books. And […]
What the Home Education Review will really mean.
An English Man’s Home Is His Castle. But not any more thanks to Mr Badman, Mr Balls & the Labour Government. Instead, a review that was clearly a whitewash from the start, clearly had a pre-determined outcome and was never intended to give support to Home Educators, has been turned into another (yes, ANOTHER) actual […]
Utopia?
I ask you to imagine the unimaginable. I ask you to imagine a country where the fabric of society has broken down. I ask you to imagine a place where crime is rife, where the young people roam the streets and schools with knives and guns in their pockets, where the disaffected gather on street […]
With a question in my footsteps
We’ve had a couple of nice days; Maddy, Josie and i went up to see my nana, mum, dad, uncle, aunt and cousin on Sunday night which was a small but pleasant family gathering. It was nice to take those two to something without their louder sisters and we had a good time. I don’t […]
Fighting things i cannot see.
The sentence that as been proferred most often since i became a home educator is “oh i couldn’t do that!” Most people give one of 2 reasons ‘i just don’t know enough’ (which is, i suspect, a thinly veiled version of ‘no one but teachers know enough and i, unlike you, know my limits’) or […]

Kissing the cotton clouds.
I don’t know where i had got to. Fran made it through a week of school – and so did all the rest of us. She was exhausted by the end of gym on Wednesday and almost beside herself by the end of Thursday. She gave me a piece of paper inviting me to a […]
It's the torc that counts.
Title especially for my sister 😉 I’ve been reading (now finished them, feeling bereft) a set of book about Boudica by manda Scott. They were really excellent and i got very into them. My British history interests has been extending further and further back through historical fiction and i really enjoyed the whole pagan/celtic/tribal thread. […]
