Is the Government right to be concerned about home schooling
VCF – The Victoria Climbié Foundation UK is genuinely concerned about the link being made between Victoria Climbié and home education, and Victoria as a hidden child. Victoria was neither home-educated nor hidden.
The reality is that there is no such thing as a ‘hidden’ child, only children who are allowed to fall through the gaps. The key issue here is how statutory services interact with children that are known within the child protection system.
And I do feel that untill the goverment is able to look after the children it has been given responisiblity for, then it needs to leave the rest of us alone!!!

Absolute disgust.
The only way to describe how i feel about the accusatory threat here.
I am nearly 20 yrs old,
I was home schooled for large periods of my life,
I have 12 gcses ALL A* – C … only one C.
I have 4 As & A2 Levels,
And I went to University, although I decided it wasn’t for me…I had the option to decide.
I learnt valuable ideals and morals from my family,
I learnt what I was interested in.
Aged 9 I had a psychological evaluation, following my first experiences with home education,
because i wanted to excel my studies,
I ranked in the top 1% in the country.
And no i didn’t have a ‘teacher’ coming to my house every day, and no my mother is not in fact a ‘teacher’.
But I didn’t miss out on an education.
One to one learning every day, as opposed to wasting time waiting for others to stop punching each other or spitting at each other seems to be getting the better deal in my opinion.
School wasted time.
School gave me no challenges,
I would sit bored, having finished my work ten minutes into an hour long lesson on countless ocasions.
When I asked for more things to do,
my needs were not met.
Me and my family do not have some psycho relationship, i was not ever abused and my family never WOULD abuse anyone or anything.
We are a group of normal, fun people.
Peace loving people, who love each other.
Unfortunatley todays ‘blame culture’ will rip a chunk out of anyone in the hopes that it will turn the focus away from their own issues.
‘Every man for himself.’
Well, i’m sorry, but i disagree.
And where the hell are social services is all i can say.
I have no idea who employs them, or how they really run their show,
but I think many cases of negligence are preventable.
Speaking from my own life experience I know for a fact that they have overlooked some very very serious circumstances and ignored crys for help until it was too late.
And those kids were not home schooled,
just not schooled or really given a home.
These cases need looking at,
critical incident reviews should be being done.
We as asociety cannot point the finger at a few people who most likely love their children and want the best for them – hence giving them the attention they deserve and need by removing them from a corrupt, utterly laughable schooling system.
We should look at this regarding the children living in drug dens… they’re not attending school because their mother is having a seizure on the floor.
And there is nobody to bath them and walk them to school.
Come on.
Please.
The kids that aren’t in school because their families want the best for them are not the problem here.
Feel free to contact me about my views,
I’d love to hear yours.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my delicious. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
The government is getting its claws into our kids. First, it’s “they must go to school!” Then: “they must go to the local school!” and finally: “stop teaching them things like history (especially the inconvenient bit about inter-war German economic policy) and instead teach them about equality and diversity, climate change and why government knows best, whilst over-stimulating their little minds from age 3.” The NSPCC gets massive state funding to trumpet the government’s social engineering plans, under the guise of child protection. Everybody knows that home- educated kids are from highly-to-reasonably intellectual, alternative middle-class families, and an idiot could tell who is being home- educated only by the Jeremy Kyle show.
