Go Rebekah! Very eloquently put! I took my two little boys with me today to A) get my haircut, and B) to give blood and several people asked if Alex (5) was enjoying his holidays/looking forward to going back to school. When he said he was home-educated, they asked questions about it so we were able to say that for us, living our LIVES is our education, including experiences like Mummy going to give blood & getting her hair cut! Well done and thanks for being a visible face of home-ed! The more of us who stand up to be counted, the more people will see we are NOT anomalies and our children are NOT hidden away! Arlette x YAY!

Choice is a good thing...why shouldn't people be allowed to educate their own children? It's a difficult path, but respect to those that take it, both the parents and the children, who's powers of poetry in this case must be up there at level 7 or thereabouts.
