The HE- consult group contains almost all the story, as does Mike FWs HE-UK-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and the UK HE list, now moderated by Barbara et al. <BR/><BR/>Am meaning to write that letter (for DfES and Schools Minister) as and when. I see there are several attempts at it on Mike's list and the HE consult. The main thrust: that HEors object strongly to the proposed minimum two day delay in deregging (and also that many are very cross with EO for not representing this anger more immediately).Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686469871331093679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-1144939297796254652006-04-13T15:41:00.000+01:002006-04-13T15:41:00.000+01:00Dear Dare to Know--I'm sure you can answer the pre...Dear Dare to Know--I'm sure you can answer the previous anonymous comment...<BR/>But have EO screwed Up?<BR/>Go to www.he-consult.net and He-consult-UK-subscribe@yahoogroups.com<BR/>and you will get your answer.<BR/>As I do, drop by Dare to Know,regularly...for up to date accurate info on UK home-ed and other relevant issues.. unfortunately, Rome is burning while a good portion of home-edders play the fiddleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-1144933822782225232006-04-13T14:10:00.000+01:002006-04-13T14:10:00.000+01:00WHAT!!I'm reading the wrong lists.I hadn't heard a...WHAT!!<BR/>I'm reading the wrong lists.<BR/>I hadn't heard about this.

So, now home educators are in a furore over the consequences. Your assessment of the situation has been put forth most accurately...I question, Why a small group of home-edders should be speaking/deciding critical issues for all?..but then apathy reigns supreme until "you don't know what you got til its gone." It's now time to put this issue out to the public..to all UK citizens, as ultimately this isn't just a home-ed concern. Truthfully, though why should the DFES budge now, if it wasn't raised in the first letter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-1144828860565166902006-04-12T09:01:00.000+01:002006-04-12T09:01:00.000+01:00When de-registering my son from one school I remem...When de-registering my son from one school I remember how they seemed to think we should give the process more time. They were completely baffled by the fact that we didn't seem to trust them to resolve the issues and that we were not prepared to spend a long time trying different things first. <BR/><BR/>They don't consider how long that failing period feels like to the child, or that one might have had numerous experiences with schools failing to address issues effectively, so that an apparently hasty decision is not actually hasty at all.<BR/><BR/>Why should teachers be allowed to experiment on pupils and play with their well being? Plus, my ds did have no faith at all in the ability of adults to resolve problems which were created by the obligatory schooling in the first place. His past experience meant that he 'knew' that things were likely to be worse once there was adult intervention. You can't make a boring teacher interesting, an out of control class suddenly behave, or bullies think that they will give up just because some one tells them to.<BR/><BR/>I can imagine that particular school being one of the many to have advised authorities that more time should be given - their egos are at stake basically; and as you rightly point out they come from a system where no one is presumed to know their own mind.<BR/><BR/>DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
