The Great Educational Balls Up – Series Overview

Over the last few days I have been posting a series of blog articles looking at the Badman review of home education, and proposals to introduce new legislation on the back of it.  If you don’t know about the review, or the  catastrophic effects it could have on educational freedoms and family rights in the UK, then I’d recommend you have a read.  It is in 10 parts, so why not make a cup of tea before you begin    This is not a full analysis, nor a recommendation by recommendation critique, rather it deals with a series of topics related to the review.  I hope it makes for accessible reading for home educators and non home educators alike.

Part 1 – Introduction

Part 2 – What’s wrong with it?

Part 3 – Who’s the parent

Part 4 – Powers to enter the family home and interview children alone

Part 5 – It won’t cost any more.  Eh?

Part 6 – The danger of defining education

Part 7 – But there’s more support for home educators isn’t there?

Part 8 – Government maths

Part 9 – Where’s the fire?

Part 10 – Death by a thousand plans?
