Please Consider Writing to your MP re Proposed Parliamentary Debate.

Season's Greetings folks....but don't get too relaxed because just when you are at your busiest, here's another job to put at the top of the "to do" list.

I can't help wondering if  the scheduling of the proposed debate on Home Education is deliberate...ie: they pick the time when we are most likely to be snowed under so that MPs don't get a stream of letters explaining what HE is really like.

However, HEing parents are used to rattling off letters at 4 am in the morning, and to make it even more plain sailing, there is information on the whys and hows of writing to your MP here.

More research to support child led learning:

The study found that when the subjects controlled their own observations, they exhibited more coordination between the hippocampus and other parts of the brain involved in learning and posted a 23 percent improvement in their ability to remember objects. “The bottom line is, if you’re not the one who’s controlling your learning, you’re not going to learn as well,”
