NB: he may be a prof of something or other, but as far as any of us are aware, there isn't such a thing as a professorship in home education and to most home educators I know, he is still far from an expert on the subject.
The comments are instructive.

At least people have stopped calling him "Sir Graham"
ReplyDeleteHe might have to return to it after his prof tenureship is up though, since if it is this one, it only lasts 2 years.

I've a tiny bit of a bad conscience just now...about the ad hominems, I mean, but trouble is, the TES started it with the "expert" and the "prof" bits.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants a proper refutation of Badman's arguments, they should read at least the first 2 comments.
a professorship is linked to a university, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo no, you can't have an HE professor!
Oh, wait a minute, unless, as Home Edding parents, that makes us ALL HE Professors?!
i have a feeling the converstive want to bring new laws on home education those same old civil serants will be briefing the government what should be done to home educators in the interst of child welfare!
ReplyDeleteThey dont like hone education cos they cant brain wash our children!
