Why is it so difficult for people to see that learning REALLY does happen all the time?!!?Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058665356922189006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-6834653844332908062009-06-14T16:48:45.538+01:002009-06-14T16:48:45.538+01:00my kids who are in school by choice (most of the t...my kids who are in school by choice (most of the time!)aren't made to speak to inspectors alone. Our eldest did meet them as a group once and really enjoyed pointing out hypocrisy of a healthy eating policy and staff<br />sending out for chips, eating chocolate and never eating school dinners with the kids, 'If it's not good enough for them why is it good enough for us?'<br /><br />I do hope the review recommendations will be successfully challenged in the courts. Home edding again is always an option for us but it'll look much less of a true alternative to school if these recommendations are adopted which is perhaps the plan. very depressing<br />sarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-22645489327158286772009-06-14T12:17:50.331+01:002009-06-14T12:17:50.331+01:00LOL Denise.

And that's because he's already managed to absorb society's view that learning happens sat down at a desk with an adult lecturing at the front. And yet he actually knows lots and lots of things.Lindsayhttp://nothingexceptional.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
