WE home educated our daughter for a while, they really do not like folk doing this as they want the money for each child, they will lie exagerate misquote all the time in order to justify their jobs. The 'they' are Deputy Head teachers, Truency Officers, Social Workers and even School Nurses. If they try to introduce a social worker its probably best to get a solicitor right away to make them go away as they will make your life and the life of your child a misery otherwise with constant useless and unwanted interventions. The family should be sacrisanct, yet interfeering busy bodies with a need to justify their over inflated salaries will conspire to make you miss meetings by giving you the wrong dates times or places then blame it on you. They seem to hate disabled mothers or fathers, hate you if you allow your child to use the internet, and who doesn't these days? Have mock trials if 13 page homeworks aren'y in on time at which 3 kids voted her to die! No wonder she is depressed.
