This article shows just what I am scared of with respect to the Government’s proposed changes to home education.

What is to stop them using home education as a reason for taking my children away? What happens when an LA official doesn’t like my education methods, or doesn’t like that I don’t accept their methods of education.

They have an incredible potential power over us already – even now when the legal situation supports parent’s choices over education. How much worse will it be when the law doesn’t protect our freedom to educate in a way that works for our children, but only in a state approved way!
