Are you considering home education for the new school year? Remember school is not compulsory. Home education isn’t school at home, it can be anything you want and the child needs it to be. #homeeduk #learnathome
It both infuriates and terrifies me in equal measure

“It's parents who hold the duty to assure the education of their child. We have the freedom to disagree with what the state teaches. The prospect of Government directing a family activity naturally infuriates many parents & it utterly terrifies some.”

We will make the updates as soon as possible regarding the new Wales EHE guidance. #homeed

On Tuesday 16th May there will be a private member’s bill introduced, seeking to legislate the registration of children educated outside of school. This bill would badly impact the home educating communities and how they operate.

It sounds beyond ridiculous, doesn't it. It's an authoritarian system gone mad.

Though, you did touch on something important: fining and jailing parents isn't going to make their children attend #school, if school is not suiting those children. We need to overhaul #attendance law and end these incentives, not threaten #HomeEducating families as well.

Putting law-abiding minority groups on a register is highly controversial, and there are data from various 'consultations' to back this. The current laws, if followed, work well. Plus there are huge - and genuine - data privacy concerns. Are you reflecting this in your coverage?
Worth noting the existing balance is in-line with other law. No other group has to register the details of their family life with the government, nor do the authorities normally get involved without evidence of a problem. Only #HomeEducation attracts this kind of state overreach!
You see this so often: the legislation exists to address something but the relevant services fail to act.
Government: "we're very worried about illegal schools"
Ofsted (who have power in this area) "............"
Government: "I know lets have a register of children not in school"

I so agree with you! @NickFletcherMP #HomeEducation The DfE needs to take a long hard look at their offering. They've forgotten who they are meant to serve, and what century and decade we live in. If anyone is to be scrutinised, start there! #PetitionsDebate

#HomeEducation can be life changing for young people and their families. In some cases it can be life saving.

Beautiful.
The same was true for my son 9 years ago.
School had made him hate and fear writing.
Now with home Ed, he’s perusing his dream of being an author.
#FairHearing4HomeEd
Agreed. The 'evidence' presented is always a result of conflating other issues with #homeeducation. The reports are actually about school absence, attendance issues, failure to support SEN, off-rolling and illegal schools. These are all school issues. #FairHearing4HomeEd
Home educators are not the problem and the evidence backs this up. A register is unwanted, unneeded and an insult to caring parents who are achieving more with their children than the system ever could. @NickFletcherMP #homeeducation

@NickFletcherMP Agreed. Elective home education is exactly that - parents taking responsibility for their own children. Responsible parents deserve respect from the State, not stigma. No to state expansion into the home. nickfletcher.org.uk/node/136… #home-ed-debate

Will we see a #fairdebate @NickFletcherMP Those pushing the agenda for a CNIS register continue to paint a picture of #homeeducating parents as #badparents yet we are #responsible parents making the #bestchoices for our children
We have scheduled a Westminster Hall debate on home education on Monday 27 March at 4.30pm. The debate will be opened by @NickFletcherMP.
Two petitions calling for the Government not to introduce new requirements for home educated children received over 35,000 signatures.

😭 the ecological vandalism in #Plymouth & #Wellingborough impacts us all. We cannot treat our planet like it is there for our convenience or for our fashion & design choices. In the end, this concept of "progress" will literally be the death of us all. @plymouthcc @NNorthantsC

Look Out! Here Comes Another Bill! he-byte.uk/england/look-out-…
#StopTheSchoolsBill
This bill needs to be thrown out. It's all badly written and parts of it are based on stereotyping and prejudice rather than evidence, particularly in relation to #HomeEducation.
It will damage and criminalise families and hand sweeping powers to the state.
Today in the Lords ... Possible huge fireworks. The most cautious peer *ever*, Lord Judge, former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, has threatened to stop the passage of the #SchoolsBill. It's a bad Bill, made worse by Govt fumbling. (Possibly more of a devastating bomb.)
This thread is just brilliant.
As a #HomeEducator the question that irritates me the most is the classic..."but what about socialisation?"
But what about socialisation? It doesn't take long for home educators to be asked this question. It's like we can't imagine how social development happens outside school. Am I worried? No, and here's why not. 1/ (with @_MissingTheMark)
