Pat ,Haven't you heared yet? Only perverts home school.LOL Quote:
Parents who educate their children at home could be using it to cover up abuse, neglect and forced marriage, the Children's Minister has claimed.Baroness Delyth Morgan said home schooling could be masking a range of evils including sexual exploitation and domestic servitude.
Her controversial comments immediately provoked fury from home schooling groups who branded them 'offensive'.
Baroness Morgan remark came as she ordered a review of how the estimated 55,000 children who are taught at home or have dropped out from school are treated.
It is in response to local authorities' and children's charities' anxiety about their ability to properly support and monitor those who are home schooled. | Quote:
Given that Team Obama wants international standards, it's become increasingly necessary to keep up with what's happening to homeschoolers around the globe. Today, the news coming out of Great Britain was not good for homeschoolers, Under newly announced Labour government rules, local council authorities are authorized to enter private homes to interview children, without parents present, on their safety and “quality of education.” The new regulations have raised fears among Britain’s homeschooling community of a government attack on the rights of parents to educate their children at home.
Families will be forced to register with authorities and could face criminal penalties if they are deemed to be inadequately educating their children. This development stunned British homeschoolers who worry that they are now heading down the path toward Germany's policy where homeschooling is outlawed. Let's hope they're able to somehow defeat this --not just for their sake but perhaps ours as well.
