Tories In The UK Get The Homeschooler’s Vote

By Malgwyn | March 3, 2010

In my last post  I contrasted the democratic freedoms in the USA with that of Germany and Sweden where the state and not parents are deemed responsible for children’s education, and where parents can be imprisoned or lose custody of their children if they choose to homeschool their children. Although the UK have enjoyed similar freedoms to the US in Homeschooling a new bill being introduced by the UK government  is causing Homeschoolers great concern and claims of injustice in their treatment by this government. The comments following this article in The Times has Graham Badman being the ‘bad man’. It is due to his report on Homeschooling in the UK that has brought about the Homeschooling ‘Bill’ - now accused of being pushed through Parliament with indecent haste. In favour of Homeschooling the Tory Michael Gove promises to reverse decisions being introduced in the Bill. In the Comments online following the article Homeschoolers take issue with the statement by the author of the article that, “The review found evidence of a small number of extreme cases, where home-educated children had suffered harm because concerns were not picked up.” There is no mention of the concerns over Islam being responsible for Homeschooling concerns as reported in my previous post.
